Linear Equations & Graphing

Easy
1

Solve: 3x - 7 = 14

💡 Show Hint

Add 7, then divide by 3

✓ Show Answer

x = 7

2

What is the slope of y = -2x + 5?

💡 Show Hint

In y = mx + b, m is the slope

✓ Show Answer

-2

3

Find the y-intercept of y = 4x - 3

💡 Show Hint

In y = mx + b, b is the y-intercept

✓ Show Answer

-3 or (0, -3)

Systems & Quadratics

Medium
1

Solve: x + y = 10 and x - y = 4

💡 Show Hint

Add the equations to eliminate y

✓ Show Answer

x = 7, y = 3

2

Factor: x² - 7x + 12

💡 Show Hint

Find two numbers that multiply to 12 and add to -7

✓ Show Answer

(x - 3)(x - 4)

3

Simplify: √50

💡 Show Hint

√50 = √(25 × 2) = 5√2

✓ Show Answer

5√2

Geometry & Applications

Hard
1

Find the distance between (2, 3) and (5, 7)

💡 Show Hint

Distance formula or Pythagorean: d² = 3² + 4²

✓ Show Answer

5

2

A rectangle has perimeter 36 and length twice the width. Find dimensions.

💡 Show Hint

2(2w + w) = 36 → 6w = 36

✓ Show Answer

width = 6, length = 12

3

Solve using quadratic formula: x² + 4x - 5 = 0

💡 Show Hint

Or factor: (x+5)(x-1) = 0

✓ Show Answer

x = 1 or x = -5

Pro Tips

  • 💡Master slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) — it's used everywhere
  • 💡For systems of equations, elimination often works faster than substitution
  • 💡When factoring quadratics, always check by FOILing back
  • 💡Distance formula is just Pythagorean theorem in coordinate form
