If this is the review guide for your upcoming test, then all of this material has been covered. Therefore, you should be able at least to get started on at least a few of these exercises.

Please reply showing the steps and reasoning you have tried thus far, clearly stating where you are stuck.

Thank you.

You do show work for these two, but you should put it down like this.

4: Solve the equation for x: 3x - 6y = 12
x = (12 - 6y)/3
x = 2y - 4
Except for the sign on -6y, that would have been correct. You should have stopped.
2y + 4/3
You fixed it up here.
x = (6y + 12)/3
But should finish it with
x = 2y+4

5: Solve the equation for L: P = 2w + 2L
2L = P - 2w
That would have been correct. The next step is not.
P/(2 - w)
w - (P/2)
(P - 2w)/2

Are you REALLY unable to do this one?
If so, then you're sure not ready for the others...

Hmm, this person reminds me of someone I encountered over here http://www.mathgoodies.com/forums/topic ... C_ID=27869. You never can tell with some people.
