✍️ Sample ALEKS Questions & Answers

1. Solve: (x + 3)/2 = 5
x = 7

Multiplying both sides by 2 gives x + 3 = 10, and subtracting 3 gives x = 7.

2. If 5x = 35, what is x?
7

Dividing both sides by 5 gives x = 35 ÷ 5 = 7.

3. Order these from least to greatest: 0.6, 3/5, 0.59, 5/8
0.59, 0.6, 3/5, 5/8

Converting all to decimals: 0.59, 0.60, 0.60, 0.625 — so the order is 0.59, 0.6, 3/5, 5/8.

4. What is the vertex of the parabola y = (x - 3)² + 2?
(3, 2)

In vertex form y = (x - h)² + k, the vertex is (h, k) = (3, 2).

5. What is the slope of the line y = 3x − 5?
3

In slope-intercept form y = mx + b, the coefficient of x is the slope, so m = 3.

6. What is the area of a circle with diameter 10? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
78.5

Radius = 5, Area = πr² = 3.14 × 25 = 78.5.
