  1. What is the least common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 12?

    Answer: 24

    The smallest number divisible by both 8 and 12 is 24.

  2. If f(x) = 4x - 7, what is f(3)?

    Answer: 5

    Substitute x = 3: f(3) = 4(3) - 7 = 12 - 7 = 5.

  3. A store marks up an item by 25% and sells it for $50. What was the original cost?

    Answer: $40.00

    If cost × 1.25 = $50, then cost = $50 ÷ 1.25 = $40.

  4. Evaluate: |−15| + |−8| − |6|

    Answer: 17

    Absolute values give 15 + 8 - 6 = 17.

  5. If 5x + 3 = 3x + 11, what is the value of x?

    Answer: 4

    Subtract 3x from both sides to get 2x + 3 = 11, then 2x = 8, so x = 4.

  6. What is 15% of 240?

    Answer: 36

    15% of 240 = 0.15 × 240 = 36.

  7. Simplify the expression: 3(2x + 4) − 2(x − 1)

    Answer: 4x + 14

    Distribute to get 6x + 12 - 2x + 2 = 4x + 14.
