  1. Solve for x: 3x + 7 = 22.

    Answer: 5

    3x = 22 − 7 = 15, so x = 5.

  2. What is the next term in the sequence: 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, …?

    Answer: 37

    The differences between terms are 3, 5, 7, 9 (increasing by 2), so the next difference is 11 and 26 + 11 = 37.

  3. If f(x) = 2x² − 3, what is f(4)?

    Answer: 29

    f(4) = 2(4²) − 3 = 2(16) − 3 = 32 − 3 = 29.

  4. Solve for x: 5(x − 2) = 3x + 4.

    Answer: 7

    Expanding: 5x − 10 = 3x + 4, so 2x = 14 and x = 7.

  5. What is the value of 3a − 2b when a = 4 and b = −1?

    Answer: 14

    3(4) − 2(−1) = 12 + 2 = 14.

  6. What is the 10th term of the arithmetic sequence 3, 7, 11, 15, …?

    Answer: 39

    a₁₀ = 3 + (10−1) × 4 = 3 + 36 = 39.
