30 - |- (10) + 6| = 30 - |-10 + 6|
= 30 - | - 4 | = 30 - 4 = 26
Solution
2(2)(-2)3 + 2 - 2(-2)
= 4(-8) + 2 + 4 = - 26
4. What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y = - 4
Solution
y = - 4 is a horizontal line and any line perpendicular to it is vertical and therefore has an
undefined slope.
Solution
A line with slope m and passes through point (a , b) has an equation of the form.
Use the given slope and the point to write the equation of the line.
y - 0 = 2(x - (-4))
y = 2x + 8
Solution
3x - 15 + 20 = -10x + 30 + 4
3x + 5 = -10x + 34
Solve
13 x = 29 , x = 29 / 13
7. Solve the inequality: 4(x - 6) + 4 < 8(x - 4)
Solution
4x - 24 + 4 < 8x - 32
4x - 20 < 8x - 32
4x - 8x < -32 + 20
x>3
Solution
3(x - 2)2 = 12
(x - 2)2 = 4
x - 2 = (+ or -) 2
x=2+2=4,x=2-2=0
x = 4 and x = 0
Solution
The given equation has denominators that need to be cleared by multiplying all terms of the
equation by the lowest common denominator of the denominators 3 and 7 which is 21
21(x / 3 + 2 / 7) = 21(x / 7 - 5)
7x + 6 = 3x - 105
Solve for x
4x = - 111 , x = - 111/4
10. Line L is defined as line through the point (2 , 7) and perpendicular to the line x + y = 0. What is
the point of intersection of L and the line x + y = 0?
Solution
We first find the slope of the line x + y = 0. Rewrite in slope intercept form
y = - x , slope = - 1
Line L is perpendicular to line x + y = 0 and therefore the product of its slope m and the slope of
the line x + y = 0 is equal to -1. Hence
Let A(a , b) be the point of intersection. Point A and the given point (2 , 7) lie on line L and
therefore the slope calculated using point (a , b) and (2 , 7) must be equal to the slope of line L
which is - 1. Hence
(7 - b) / (2 - a) = 1
a+b=0
Solve the two system of equations (7 - b) / (2 - a) = 1 and a + b = 0 to find point A(a , b).
a + b = 0 implies that a = - b
7-b=2-a
7 - b = 2 - (-b) , b = 5 / 2
Solution
Since the point of intersection lie on the two lines, its coordinates x and y satisfy the two
equations simultaneously and are thefore found by solving the system of equations of the two
lines. Let us add the right hand side and left hand side of the two equations
x + 2y = 4
