✍️ 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.
