  1. What is the value of 4³ − √64?

    Answer: 56

    4³ = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64. √64 = 8. 64 − 8 = 56.

  2. Line m is parallel to line n. A transversal crosses both lines forming angles. If one angle is 65°, what is its alternate interior angle?

    Answer: 65°

    Alternate interior angles formed by a transversal cutting parallel lines are equal. Therefore the alternate interior angle is also 65°.

  3. A spinner has 8 equal sections numbered 1–8. What is the probability of landing on a number greater than 5?

    Answer: 3/8

    Numbers greater than 5 are: 6, 7, 8 — that is 3 numbers. P = 3/8.

  4. Combine like terms: 4a² − 3b + 2a² + 7b

    Answer: 6a² + 4b

    Group like terms: (4a² + 2a²) + (−3b + 7b) = 6a² + 4b. Only terms with the same variable and exponent can be combined.

  5. A store sells apples at $1.20 each and oranges at $0.90 each. Jake buys 5 apples and 4 oranges. How much does he spend?

    Answer: $9.60

    Apples: 5 × $1.20 = $6.00. Oranges: 4 × $0.90 = $3.60. Total = $6.00 + $3.60 = $9.60.

  6. Which of the following is the solution to x² − 5x + 6 = 0?

    Answer: x = 2 and x = 3

    Factor: (x − 2)(x − 3) = 0. Set each factor to zero: x − 2 = 0 → x = 2; x − 3 = 0 → x = 3. Check: 2² − 5(2) + 6 = 4 − 10 + 6 = 0 ✓.
