  • Lesson 1-9 Solutions of a Two-Variable Equation

    Tell whether the given ordered pair is a solution of the equation.

    1. 4 y plus 2 x equals 3 semicolon open 1.5 comma 0 close
    2. y equals 7 x minus 5 semicolon open 0 comma 5 close
    3. y equals negative 2 x plus 5 semicolon open 2 comma 1 close
  • Lesson 2-5 Transforming Equations

    Solve each equation for y.

    1. 2 y minus x equals 4
    2. 3 x equals y plus 2
    3. negative 2 y minus 2 x equals 4
  • Lesson 2-6 Comparing Unit Rates

    1. Transportation A car traveled 360 km in 6 h. A train traveled 400 km in 8 h. A boat traveled 375 km in 5 h. Which had the fastest average speed?
    2. Plants A birch tree grew 2.5 in. in 5 months. A bean plant grew 8 in. in 10 months. A rose bush grew 5 in. in 8 months. Which grew the fastest?
  • Lesson 4-4 Graphing a Function Rule

    Make a table of values for each function rule. Then graph each function.

    1. f open x close equals x plus 3
    2. f open x close equals negative 2 x
    3. f open x close equals x minus 4
  • Lesson 4-7 Arithmetic Sequences
