Solve for x: 2x + 3 = 7.
x = 2
x = 3
x = 1
x = 4
Subtracting 3 from both sides gives 2x = 4, and dividing both sides by 2 results in x = 2. This is a straightforward linear equation.
What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 5 units and a width of 3 units?
10
8
15
18
The area of a rectangle is calculated as length multiplied by width. Multiplying 5 by 3 gives an area of 15.
What is the value of 9 ÷ 3?
2
4
3
6
Dividing 9 by 3 results in 3. This simple division problem confirms the basic concept of division.
What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 4 units?
12
14

Dividing 12 by 4 yields 3. This is a basic division calculation.
A bus travels 5 miles in 10 minutes. How many miles does it travel in 40 minutes at the same rate?
15 miles
25 miles
20 miles
10 miles
Since the bus travels 5 miles every 10 minutes, in 40 minutes it will travel 4 times that distance. Multiplying 5 by 4 gives a distance of 20 miles.
Solve for x: 3x - 5 = 16.
7
8
5
6
Adding 5 to both sides gives 3x = 21, and dividing by 3 results in x = 7. This demonstrates a simple process for solving linear equations.
A shirt is sold for $20 after a 20% discount. What was the original price?
$30
$26
$25
$24
A 20% discount means the sale price is 80% of the original price. Dividing $20 by 0.8 yields an original price of $25.
Calculate the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 3) and (6, 11).
1
2
4
3
The slope is determined by the change in y divided by the change in x: (11 - 3)/(6 - 2) equals 8/4, which simplifies to 2.
Simplify the expression: 2(3 + 4) - 5.
7
11
13
9
First calculate the sum inside the parentheses (3 + 4 = 7), then multiply by 2 to get 14, and finally subtract 5 to arrive at 9.
If the ratio of cats to dogs is 3:4 and there are 12 cats, how many dogs are there?
16
15
18
14
The ratio 3:4 implies that for every 3 cats there are 4 dogs. With 12 cats (which is 4 groups of 3), multiplying 4 by 4 gives 16 dogs.
Which of the following equations represents a linear relationship?
y = x² + 1
y = x²
y = 2x + 3
y = 3/x
A linear relationship is expressed in the form y = mx + b. The equation y = 2x + 3 fits this pattern, whereas the others include quadratic or non-linear terms.
A car's value depreciates by 10% each year. If its initial value is $20,000, what is its value after one year?
$19,000
$18,500
$18,000
$19,500
A 10% depreciation on $20,000 results in a loss of $2,000. Subtracting $2,000 from $20,000 gives a new value of $18,000.
Solve for y: 4y/2 = 10.
3
5
4
6
Simplify 4y/2 to get 2y = 10. Dividing both sides by 2 results in y = 5, demonstrating the method for solving simple equations.
What is the mean of the data set: 5, 7, 9, 10, and 15?
10
8.4
11
9.2
The mean is calculated by summing the numbers (5 + 7 + 9 + 10 + 15 = 46) and dividing by the total count (5), resulting in 9.2. This is a fundamental concept in statistics.
A rectangular garden has a length that is twice its width and a perimeter of 36 units. What are its dimensions?
Width = 6, Length = 12
Width = 7, Length = 14
Width = 4, Length = 8
Width = 5, Length = 10
Let the width be w and the length be 2w. The perimeter is 2(w + 2w) = 6w, so setting 6w equal to 36 yields w = 6 and length = 12. This problem tests the application of algebra in a geometric context.
Solve the system of equations: 2x + y = 11 and x - y = 1.
x = 6, y = 5
x = 4, y = 3
x = 5, y = 4
x = 3, y = 2
From the second equation, x - y = 1, rewrite it as y = x - 1. Substitute into the first equation: 2x + (x - 1) = 11, which simplifies to 3x = 12, so x = 4 and y = 3. This method confirms the solution using substitution.
A recipe requires 3 cups of flour to make 12 cookies. How many cups of flour are needed to make 20 cookies?
5
4.5
6
4
The recipe uses 3 cups for 12 cookies, implying each cookie requires 0.25 cups of flour. For 20 cookies, multiplying 20 by 0.25 yields 5 cups. This problem tests proportional reasoning.
If a cube has a volume of 64 cubic units, what is its surface area?
128
192
64
96
The volume of a cube is given by s³, so the side length s is the cube root of 64, which is 4. The surface area is 6 times the area of one face (4²), resulting in 6 x 16 = 96.
A train travels from City A to City B in 3 hours at a constant speed. If it increases its speed by 20% on the return trip, how long does the return journey take?
2 hours
2.5 hours
3.5 hours
3 hours
Increasing the speed by 20% means the new speed is 1.2 times the original, so the time taken is the original time divided by 1.2. Dividing 3 hours by 1.2 gives 2.5 hours for the return journey.
