4. inspect the graph: the line passes through pts. (1, 2) and (4, -4)
42 6
slope = m = = = -2
4 1 3
y = -2x + b; then substitute any point. We use pt. (1, 2)
2 = -2(1) +b; b = 2 + 2
b=4
y = -2x + 4 or y = 4 – 2x
answer: A
b3
5. a=b+½ =
2
b3
b+½ = ; multiply both sides by 2
2
2b + 1 = b + 3; 2b – b = 3 -1
b=2
a = b + ½ = 2 + ½ = 2 ½ = 5/2
answer: C

2x + 4y – 5(3) = 19
2x + 4y = 19 + 15; 2x + 4y = 34, divide both sides by 2
x + 2y = 17, thus, x + 2y + z = 17 + 3 = 20

11. ab – 1 – b + a = ( ab – b) + ( a – 1)
b ( a – 1) + ( a – 1) = ( b + 1) ( a – 1)
answer: C
12. x2 – 6x + 5 = 0
( x – 5)( x – 1) = 0
A. x2 + 1 = 0
B. x2 – x – 2 = 0, ( x -2 )( x + 1) = 0
C. 2x2 – 2 = 0, 2( x2 – 1 ) = 0, 2( x + 1)( x – 1) = 0
D. x2 – 2x – 3 = 0, ( x – 3 )( x + 1) = 0
answer: C
x2 + 2xy + y2 = 20
x2 + 2(4) + y2 = 20
x2 + y2 = 20 – 8 = 12
answer: C
17. y = -x + 3
y = -x – 2
from the general form: y = mx + b, where the m is the slope.
both equations have slopes equal to -1
since the have the same slope, these lines are parallel.
answer: B
18. 2x – 3y = 12
3x + y = 7
using substitution method:
3x + y = 7, y = 7 – 3x; then substitute to the other equation
2x – 3( 7 – 3x ) = 12
2x – 21 + 9x = 12
11x = 33
x=3
y = 7 – 3x = 7 – 3(3) = 7 – 9
y = -2
solution: ( 3,-2 )
answer: A
21. 4x + 2 = 3x + 9
where x is the number of students per row
4x – 3x = 9 – 2
x = 7, then substitute to above equation
4(7) + 2 = 30 --- students
answer: C

5 yrs from now, the man’s age is 3 more than twice the age of his son.
3x + 5 = 3 + 2( x + 5 )
3x + 5 = 2x + 10 + 3
3x – 2x = 10 + 3 – 5
x=8
man = 3x = 3(8) = 24

2x + 3x = 12
5x = 12
x = 12/5 = 2 2/5

Grace 1/45 18 18/45
Abby 1/x 18 18/x

1 ; multiply both sides by 45x
45 x
18x + 18( 45 ) = 45x
45x – 18x = 810
27x = 810
x = 30 min
