1. QuestionMultiple choice

Evaluate 4x + 3 when x = 5.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 23.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Substitute 5: 4(5) + 3 = 20 + 3 = 23.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

Substitute 5: 4(5) + 3 = 20 + 3 = 23.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

Which expression represents the phrase “7 less than n”?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is n − 7.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Seven less than n means subtract 7 from n.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

Seven less than n means subtract 7 from n.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve x + 14 = 29.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is x = 15.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Subtract 14 from both sides: x = 29 − 14 = 15.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

Subtract 14 from both sides: x = 29 − 14 = 15.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve 5y = 45.

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is y = 9.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Divide both sides by 5: y = 45 ÷ 5 = 9.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

Divide both sides by 5: y = 45 ÷ 5 = 9.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Which expression is equivalent to 3(a + 4)?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 3a + 12.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Use the distributive property: 3(a + 4) = 3a + 12.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

Use the distributive property: 3(a + 4) = 3a + 12.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A movie ticket costs 8 dollars. Which expression gives the cost for t tickets plus a 3-dollar service fee?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 8t + 3.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: The tickets cost 8t and the fixed fee adds 3.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

The tickets cost 8t and the fixed fee adds 3.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Which value makes 2x + 1 = 13 true?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 6.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Substitute 6: 2(6) + 1 = 13.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

Substitute 6: 2(6) + 1 = 13.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

A table has x values 1, 2, 3 and y values 4, 7, 10. What is the rate of change?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 3.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Each increase of 1 in x produces an increase of 3 in y.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

Each increase of 1 in x produces an increase of 3 in y.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

Which inequality describes numbers greater than or equal to 8?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is x ≥ 8.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
