1. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve (3x - 4 = 17).

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is x=7x = 7.

  1. Identify the quantities: Write down the known values, variables, units, and relationship in the problem.
  2. Apply the strategy: Add 4 to both sides to get 3x = 21, then divide by 3.
  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.

Add 4 to both sides to get 3x = 21, then divide by 3.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the value of (2a^2 + 1) when (a = 3)?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 1919.

  1. Identify the quantities: Write down the known values, variables, units, and relationship in the problem.
  2. Apply the strategy: Substitute 3: 2(3^2) + 1 = 18 + 1 = 19.
  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.

Substitute 3: 2(3^2) + 1 = 18 + 1 = 19.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Which expression is equivalent to (5(x - 2))?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 5x−105x - 10.

  1. Identify the quantities: Write down the known values, variables, units, and relationship in the problem.
  2. Apply the strategy: Distribute 5 to both terms: 5x - 10.
  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.

Distribute 5 to both terms: 5x - 10.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve (4x + 2 = 2x + 14).

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is x=6x = 6.

  1. Identify the quantities: Write down the known values, variables, units, and relationship in the problem.
  2. Apply the strategy: Subtract 2x and 2 to obtain 2x = 12, so x = 6.
  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.

Subtract 2x and 2 to obtain 2x = 12, so x = 6.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Which inequality represents numbers at least 8?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is x≥8x \ge 8.

  1. Identify the quantities: Write down the known values, variables, units, and relationship in the problem.
  2. Apply the strategy: At least includes 8 and all greater values, so use greater than or equal to.
  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.

At least includes 8 and all greater values, so use greater than or equal to.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the greatest common factor of 18 and 30?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 66.

  1. Identify the quantities: Write down the known values, variables, units, and relationship in the problem.
  2. Apply the strategy: The common factors include 1, 2, 3, and 6; the greatest is 6.
  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.

The common factors include 1, 2, 3, and 6; the greatest is 6.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Which expression is equivalent to (x^3 cdot x^4)?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is x7x^7.

  1. Identify the quantities: Write down the known values, variables, units, and relationship in the problem.
  2. Apply the strategy: For the same base, add exponents: 3 + 4 = 7.
  3. Check the result: Substitute the answer or review the units to make sure the result is reasonable.

For the same base, add exponents: 3 + 4 = 7.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the positive solution of (x^2 = 81)?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D
