✍️ Sample MAAP Questions & Answers

Photosynthesis uses light energy, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen in plant cells.

4. Which is the correct simplification of 5x + 3y - 2x + y?
3x + 4y

Combining like terms: (5x - 2x) + (3y + y) = 3x + 4y.

5. What is the area of a triangle with base 10 and height 6?
30

Area of a triangle = (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × 10 × 6 = 30.
