Yes, that's perfect.
Since I posted, I had found a P vs T graph with isotherms on them. It also had an adiabatic expansion line, and it was a straight line tangent to the isotherm running underneath it. I know work is the area under the curve, so by remembering the graph I should be able to solve this problem, but I like your method better. I'm an equation kind of guy. So thanks.
Sidenote: I wish this site would find a way to post the publically available ETS Practice Test questions, and allow people to fill out the answers, rationale for them, and ways to remember them. It's a lot of work to set up, but I think the community would pick up the torch if it was lit.
