3. Test
A 10-question Connecticut Smarter Balanced Math practice set on equations, inequalities, and functions, with answers and explanations.
Read each task carefully, choose one answer, and review the calculation or reasoning after responding.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is x = 15.
Subtract 9 from both sides to get x = 15.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is x = 9.
Divide both sides by 5 to get x = 9.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is x = 5.
For x = 5, 2(5) + 1 = 11, which is greater than 9.

Correct answer: D
The correct answer is y = 3x + 2.
Slope-intercept form y = mx + b uses m = 3 and b = 2.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is 3.
The y-values increase by 3 whenever x increases by 1.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is (3, 5).
When x = 3, y = 2(3) − 1 = 5, so (3, 5) is on the line.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is x = 8.
Divide by 3 to get x − 2 = 6, then add 2 to get x = 8.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: D
The correct answer is 4 + 2k.
The fixed fee is 4 and the distance charge is 2k, so the total is 4 + 2k.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is x ≤ 11.
Adding 4 to both sides gives x ≤ 11.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is 4n + 1.
The first term is 5 and the common difference is 4, so 4n + 1 gives 5 when n = 1.
