c. 3 d. -2 7 – 3x – 12 = 10 c. y = 2x – 2 d. y   x  2
-3x – 5 = 10 5
5y = -2x + 10
-3x = 15 𝟐
x = -5 y = −𝟓𝒙 + 𝟐

3. Evaluate x2y – 4xy for x = 4 and y = -2 4. Solve the inequality 7 – 2y ≥ -5

a. -8 b. 288 a. y ≥ -6 b. y ≤ 6

c. 0 d. 16 c. y ≥ 6 d. y ≤ -6

2w + 14 + 2w = 54 -20x11y5
4w + 14 = 54
4w = 40
w =10 and l = 10 + 7 = 17

c. 16n2 – 24n + 9 d. 16n2 – 12n + 6 c. 2x – 3 d. 3x + 2


(4n – 3)(4n – 3) (6)(-6) = -36
4n(4n – 3) – 3(4n – 3) (9)(-4) = -36 and 9 + (-5) = 5
16n2 – 12n – 12n + 9 6x2 + 9x – 4x – 6
16n2 – 24n + 9 3x(2x + 3) – 2(2x + 3) = (3x -2)(2x + 3)
