Algebra Practice: Problems with Two Known Variables

This practice test includes ten algebraic expressions in which there are two known variables. Simply enter numbers for the two variables and solve. I created this post in adaptive mode so that readers will see the correct answer immediately after clicking on each slide. Feel free to write down your answers and compare your answers and steps with mine. You might approach some of these problems in a different manner and still get the correct answer, which is fine.

Directions

  1. Click on the first slide below to enlarge to full screen.
  2. Click on each slide or on the thumbnail at the bottom of the screen to advance to the next slide.
