3.3x, -9x
The sum of two numbers is s. The product of the same two numbers is p. If the two numbers are each increased by one, the new product is q. Find q−p in terms of s.
Possible Answers:
1.2s+1
2.s+2
3.s2
4.s−1
5.s+1
5.s+1
Let the two numbers be x and y.
x + y = s
xy = p
(x + 1)(y + 1) = q
Expand the last equation:
xy + x + y + 1 = q
Note that both of the first two equations can be substituted into this new equation:
p + s + 1 = q
Solve this equation for q – p by subtracting p from both sides:
s + 1 = q – p
Find the variable.
13 + q = 56

2. How to solve a multi-step equation?
1. First, you get the variables on the same side of the equal sign. Add the number that you have to both sides so that the variable remains on one side only. Now isolate the variable by subtracting by another number from both sides. Multiply both sides and then divide
2. First, take the log of both sides, and solve for the variable.

Which becomes
4x3−8x+2x2−4
Or, written better
4x3+2x2−8x−4

4.2x2y−2ax2−3xy−3ax
5.4x2y+2ax2−6xy−3ax
Correct answer:
5.4x2y+2ax2−6xy−3ax
Explanation:
Solve by applying FOIL:
First: 2x2 * 2y = 4x2y
Outer: 2x2 * a = 2ax2
Inner: –3x * 2y = –6xy
Last: –3x * a = –3ax
Add them together: 4x2y + 2ax2 – 6xy – 3ax
There are no common terms, so we are done.

(6x−2)(3x+5)=ax2+dx+k
Given the equation above, what is the value of a−d+k?
Possible Answers:
1.−10
2.−16
3.2
4.9
5.24
2.−16
Explanation:
(6x−2)(3x+5)=ax2+dx+k
Use FOIL to expand the left side of the equation.
(6x−2)(3x+5)=18x2+30x−6x−10=18x2+24x−10
18x2+24x−10=ax2+dx+k
From this equation, we can solve for a, d, and k.
18x2=ax2→a=18
24x=dx→d=24
−10=k
Plug these values into a−d+k to solve.
a−d+k=(18)−(24)+(−10)=−16
