Review Course Notes

If your answer can be put in the form of a fraction, do so. If it can not, round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Question Group #1

Directions and/or Common Information: Solve each equation using the shortcuts from section 3.5

(5/6)x = 2

(2/6)x + 5 = (1/3)x

(7/3)x + (5/2) = 9/3

2[(4/3) - x] + 6 = 7/8

3[5x - (1/4)] = 9

(1/4)x - (7/2) = 2[(1/4)x + 3]

Question Group #2

Directions and/or Common Information: Solve each equation using the shortcuts in section 3.5

5.4x + 3 = 42

1.383x + 5.6 = 8.5

1.5 - 7.93x = 4.27(x - 5.93)

4.08(1.55 + 3.8x) - 2.8402 = 0.114x

0.129 - 5.38(0.772x + 3) = 0.6619
