GED Math Test #7 3

Question 1

Solve the system: x + y = 10 and x − y = 4

Accepted Answer

x = 7, y = 3

Answer

Add the equations: 2x = 14, so x = 7. Substitute: 7 + y = 10, so y = 3. Check: 7 − 3 = 4 ✓.

Question 2

A circle has a diameter of 10 cm. What is its circumference? (Use π ≈ 3.14)

Accepted Answer

31.4 cm

Answer

Circumference = πd = 3.14 × 10 = 31.4 cm. The radius would be 5 cm, and area = πr² = 3.14 × 25 = 78.5 cm².

Question 3

Which number is irrational?

Accepted Answer

√7

Answer

√7 ≈ 2.6457... is a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal, making it irrational. √9 = 3, 0.75, and 4/3 can all be expressed as fractions.

Question 4

A worker earns $960 and saves 30% of it. How much does she save?

Accepted Answer

$288

Answer

Savings = 30% × $960 = 0.30 × 960 = $288. The remaining 70% = $672 is spent.

Question 5

The angles of a quadrilateral measure 90°, 85°, 110°, and x°. What is x?

Accepted Answer

75°

Answer

The sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral = 360°. x = 360° − 90° − 85° − 110° = 75°.
