x + 2 − 2 > 12 − 2

x>10

combine like terms if you can so 2-2=0 and 12-2=10 so you get x>10

100

The direction x<7 is going on a number line. 

What is going left? 

100

3x+12=6 

x=-2

subtract 12 on both sides and divide by 3 to find your answer

100

-X+2y=4

x+3y=1

What is the value of X?

X = -2

add both equations and get rid of one of the variables. In this problem -x and x cancel out so there is no extra steps. You should be left with 5y=5. Dividing both sides by 5 reveals that y=1 but we are looking for x. Plug in y to one of the equations and solve for X.

x+3(1)=1  

x+3=1

x=-2

40x+60=180

Answer: x=30

Explanation:

Solve for x by subtracting 60 from both sides and then dividing 40.

200

12>2y+7

5>2y or 5/2>y

subtract 7 on both sides then divide by 2 to simplify further. 

200

The sign ≥ means what in a number line?

closed circle looking to the right 

200

3(5)-3x=12

x=1

multiply 3 and 5 then subtract what you got on both sides. Lastly divide by -3 to find your answer. 

200

x-y=6

x+3y=2

What is the value of 3x+2?

Answer: 17

Explanation:

First you have to cancel out one of the variables. We can multiply the top equation by 3 to get 3x-3y=18 because 3y cancels out -3y. then add both equations and you should get 4x=20. Divide by 4 to get x=5. The question asks for 3x+2 so if we substitute you should get 3(5)+2=17

200

10x>2+3x

x>2/7

Subtract 3x on both sides and you should get 7x>2

Then divide by 7 on both sides to find your answer. 

300

x+3<7

x<4

subtract 3 on both sides and you should get the inequality above.

300

The sign ≤ means what in a number line?

closed circle looking to the left

300

3(y+5)+5=20

y=0

Distribute the 3 into the parenthesis then add like terms. You should have 3y+20=20

subtract 20 on both sides and the divide by three on both sides which should give you your answer. 

300

6x − 12y = 24 

−x − 6y = 4 

What is the value of xy?

Answer: -2

Explanation:

First you have to cancel out one of the variables. We can multiply the bottom equation by multiplying it by -2. You should get 2x+12y=-8. Add both equations, -12y and 12y cancel out leaving you with 8x=16. Divide by 8 and now you know x=2. To get Y you can substitute:

-(2)-6y=4

-6y=6

y=-1

xy= (2)(-1)

xy= -2

300

3x+9y=10

6x+2y=4

x=1/3 y=1

First multiply the top equation by 2 and you should get 6x+18y=20

Then subtract the top and bottom equation and you should get 16y=16 divide by 16 on both sides and you should get y=1 plug in y to find x. 

400

-2y>-8+5

y<3/2

combine like terms so -8+5=-3

Then divide by -2 on both sides and switch the signs because you are dividing with a negative number. 

400

Draw the graph of 3x ≤ 9.

You need to get X by itself so divide both sides by 3 and you should get x ≤ 3

400

2(10x+12)=10x+4

x=-2

Distribute the 2 into the parenthesis and you should get 20x+24=10x+4

Then subtract 10x and 24 on both sides. 10x=-20 

Then divide by 10 on both sides which should give you your answer. 

400

−8x − 10y = 24 

6x + 5y = 2 

What is the value of x?

Answer: x=7

First, cancel out one of the variables. We can cancel out Y by multiplying the bottom by 2 and getting 12x+10y=4. When you simplify, -10y and 10y cancel leaving you with 4x=28. Divide both sides by 4 to get x=7


400

6x + 8y = −22 

y = −5 

What is the value of X?

Answer: x=3

Explanation:

Substitute Y and solve for x:

6x+8(-5)=-22

6x-40=-22

6x=18

x=3

500

2y+3>-4

y>-7/2

First subtract by 3 on both signs so you should get 2y>-7 Divide by 2 on both sides and keep the sign the same because you are not dividing with a negative number. 

500

Draw the graph of x+3 < 15x-11 on the white board.

First you need to get X by itself so you add 11 to both sides and subtract X from both sides. You should be left with 14<14x. If you rewrite it and divide both sides by 14 you should get x>1.

500

10x+25=35+5x

x=2

Subtract 5x on both sides and 25 on both sides. You should get 5x=10

Then divide by 5 on both sides and you should get your answer. 

500

8x − 6y = −15

−16x + 7y = 30

What is the value of X? 

500

What is the value of X?

Answer: x=-9

Explanation:

first combine 5/12 and -7/6 by making the denominators the same. -7/6 becomes -14/12.   (5-14)/12 is -9/12. Multiply both sides by 12 and you end up with x=-9.
