Solve this expression: 14a + 4b + 7

Can't be solved; not an equation, and already in simplest terms

ORDERED PAIRS

100

In an ordered pair, which number equals x and which number equals y?

x is the first number in the pair; y is the second number.

200

For x = y/4 is (4,16) an ordered pair?

Yes

300

For y = 5 + 3x is (3,7) an ordered pair?

No

400

For y = 3x, when x =4, what is the ordered pair?

(4, 12)

500

For x= y/2.5, when x =10, what is the ordered pair?

(10, 25)

Solve for x

100

x - 9 = 2

11

200

5 + 3x = 20

x = 5

300

4x + 7 = 3

x = -1

400

12x - 9 = 3x

x = 1

500

8x - 12x + 30 = 40

x = -2.5

Find the missing variable

100

5y + 2m = 10a If you know the value of a is -2 and you know the value of y is 4. What is the value of m?

m = -20

200

a² + b² = c² If you know that a is 3 and b is 4 then what is the value of c?

c = 5

300

9x - 3y = 6n If you know that x is 4 and y is -4 what is the value of n?

n = 8

400

What is a variable?

A variable is a letter that substitutes an unknown value.

500

14c - 3x = 5n If you know that c is 3 and n is 6

x = 4
