If 5x − 3 = 2x + 12, what is the value of x?
Answer: 5
5x − 2x = 12 + 3 → 3x = 15 → x = 5.
A rectangle has a perimeter of 54 cm and a length of 18 cm. What is its width?
Answer: 9 cm
Perimeter = 2(l + w): 54 = 2(18 + w) → w = 9 cm.
The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:4. If there are 28 students, how many are boys?
Answer: 12
Boys = (3/7) × 28 = 12.
What is the slope of the line passing through (2, 5) and (6, 13)?
Answer: 2
Slope = (13 − 5)/(6 − 2) = 8/4 = 2.
A circle has a radius of 7 cm. What is its area? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
Answer: 153.86 cm²
Area = π r² = 3.14 × 49 ≈ 153.86 cm².
Simplify: 4(3x − 2) − 2(x + 5)
Answer: 10x − 18
12x − 8 − 2x − 10 = 10x − 18.
Which of the following is a prime number?
Answer: 37
