Original sample questions

Try a few flashcards

1.If 3x + 7 = 25, what is the value of x?+
6

Subtract 7 from both sides to obtain 3x = 18, then divide both sides by 3.

2.A line has slope 2 and passes through (1, 5). What is its y-intercept?+
3

Substitute the point into y = 2x + b: 5 = 2(1) + b, so b equals 3.

3.Which transition best introduces a result: however, consequently, similarly, or meanwhile?+
Consequently

Consequently signals that the statement that follows is a result of the preceding idea.
