  1. Solve for x: 3x + 7 = 22

    Answer: x = 5

    Subtract 7 from both sides to get 3x = 15, then divide by 3 to get x = 5.

  2. A police officer earns a fixed hourly rate. If she works 40 hours and earns $1,200, which equation correctly represents her hourly rate (y)?

    Answer: y = 1200 / 40

    Total earnings equals hourly rate times hours worked, so y = 1200 ÷ 40 = $30 per hour.

  3. What is the next number in the sequence: 2, 5, 8, 11, ___?

    Answer: 14

    Each term increases by 3, so 11 + 3 = 14.

  4. Solve for n: 4n − 8 = 20

    Answer: n = 7

    Add 8 to both sides to get 4n = 28, then divide by 4 to get n = 7.

  5. If 2x + 3 = x + 9, what is the value of x?

    Answer: x = 6

    Subtract x from both sides to get x + 3 = 9, then subtract 3 to get x = 6.

  6. What is the missing number in this sequence: 1, 4, 9, 16, ___, 36?

    Answer: 25

    The sequence consists of perfect squares (1², 2², 3², 4², 5², 6²), so the missing number is 5² = 25.

  7. A patrol car travels n miles per hour. If it covers 80 miles in 2 hours, what is n?

    Answer: 40

    Speed equals distance divided by time, so n = 80 ÷ 2 = 40 miles per hour.
