  1. If 2(x + 4) = 3x - 1, what is x?

    Answer: 9

    Distribute to get 2x + 8 = 3x - 1, then solve to get x = 9.

  2. A number increased by 30% equals 91. What is the original number?

    Answer: 70

    If 1.3x = 91, then x = 91/1.3 = 70.

  3. What is the y-intercept of the line y = 4x - 6?

    Answer: -6

    In y = mx + b form, the y-intercept b is -6.

  4. Simplify: (x⁵)(x³).

    Answer: x⁸

    When multiplying like bases, add exponents: 5 + 3 = 8, so x⁸.

  5. A triangle has a base of 10 cm and a height of 6 cm. What is its area?

    Answer: 30 cm²

    Area of a triangle is (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × 10 × 6 = 30 cm².

  6. What is the next term in the sequence 3, 6, 12, 24, ...?

    Answer: 48

    Each term is doubled, so 24 × 2 = 48.

  7. Solve for x: 0.5x = 12.

    Answer: 24

    Divide both sides by 0.5 to get x = 24.
