  1. Solve for x: 3x + 9 = 24

    Answer: x = 5

    Subtract 9 from both sides to get 3x = 15, then divide by 3 to get x = 5.

  2. What is the value of 4² + √16?

    Answer: 20

    4² = 16 and √16 = 4, so 16 + 4 = 20.

  3. If 2x − 4 = 10, what is the value of x?

    Answer: 7

    Add 4 to both sides to get 2x = 14, then divide by 2 to get x = 7.

  4. Which of the following is equivalent to 5(x − 3)?

    Answer: 5x − 15

    Using the distributive property: 5 × x = 5x and 5 × (−3) = −15, giving 5x − 15.

  5. What is the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6?

    Answer: 12

    The smallest number divisible by both 4 and 6 is 12 (4×3 = 12, 6×2 = 12).

  6. If y = 3x + 2 and x = 4, what is the value of y?

    Answer: 14

    Substitute x = 4: y = 3(4) + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14.

  7. What is the greatest common factor (GCF) of 18 and 24?

    Answer: 6

    The factors of 18 are 1,2,3,6,9,18 and of 24 are 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24; the largest shared factor is 6.
