  1. Which value of n makes 2n + 7 > 19 true?

    Answer: 7

    Solving: 2n > 12, so n > 6; the smallest whole number greater than 6 among the choices is 7.

  2. A store sells notebooks in packs of 6. If the school needs at least 50 notebooks, what is the fewest packs it must buy?

    Answer: 9

    50 ÷ 6 ≈ 8.33, so the school must buy at least 9 packs to have enough.

  3. Evaluate 4a − b when a = 5 and b = 8.

    Answer: 12

    4(5) − 8 = 20 − 8 = 12.

  4. A gym charges $30 to join and $15 per month. Which expression gives the total cost after m months?

    Answer: 15m + 30

    The one-time fee is 30 and the recurring monthly fee is 15m, giving 15m + 30.

  5. Which pair of expressions is equivalent?

    Answer: 3(x + 2) and 3x + 6

    Distributing gives 3(x + 2) = 3x + 6, which is equivalent.

  6. In a pattern, the number of dots in figure n is given by 2n + 3. How many dots are in figure 6?

    Answer: 15

    2(6) + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15.

  7. Which statement correctly describes what happens to y when x increases by 1 in the rule y = 5x − 2?

    Answer: y increases by 5

    The coefficient of x is 5, so each 1-unit increase in x causes y to increase by 5.
