Pregunta 1
If x + 5 = 12, what is x?
Selecciona una respuesta
8 17 7 6
★ Guardar
! Marcar error
Subtract 5 from both sides: x = 12 - 5 = 7. The other values do not satisfy the equation.
Pregunta 2
What is the value of 3(4 + 2) - 5?
Selecciona una respuesta
13 9 18 15
★ Guardar
! Marcar error
First compute 4 + 2 = 6, then 3 × 6 = 18, and finally 18 - 5 = 13.
Pregunta 3
Simplify 2x + 3x - x.
Selecciona una respuesta
5x 3x 6x 4x
★ Guardar
! Marcar error
Combine like terms: 2x + 3x = 5x, then 5x - x = 4x.
Pregunta 4
If 2x - 6 = 4, what is x?
Selecciona una respuesta
10 5 4 6
★ Guardar
! Marcar error
Add 6 to both sides: 2x = 10, then divide by 2: x = 5.
Pregunta 5
What is the next term in the sequence 2, 6, 12, 20, ...?
Selecciona una respuesta
24 30 26 28
★ Guardar
! Marcar error
The differences are 4, 6, 8, so the next difference is 10. Therefore 20 + 10 = 30.
Pregunta 6
What is the slope of the line y = 3x + 2?
Selecciona una respuesta
2 -3 1 3
★ Guardar
! Marcar error
In slope-intercept form y = mx + b, m is the slope. Here m = 3 and b = 2.
Pregunta 7
What is the y-intercept of the line y = -2x + 5?
Selecciona una respuesta
5 -2 2 0
★ Guardar
! Marcar error
In y = mx + b, b is the y-intercept. Here b = 5.
Pregunta 8
If f(x) = x^2 + 1, what is f(3)?
Selecciona una respuesta
7 16 10 9
★ Guardar
! Marcar error
Substitute 3: 3^2 + 1 = 9 + 1 = 10.
Pregunta 9
Solve x^2 = 49 for the positive value of x.
Selecciona una respuesta
14 9 7 49
★ Guardar
! Marcar error
The positive square root of 49 is 7 because 7 × 7 = 49.
Pregunta 10
What is the sum of the solutions of x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0?
Selecciona una respuesta
1 5 6 -5
★ Guardar
! Marcar error
The quadratic factors as (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0, so the roots are 2 and 3. Their sum is 5, which also equals the negative coefficient of x.
Pregunta 11
What is the value of 2^3 × 2^2?
Selecciona una respuesta
32 16 64 10
★ Guardar
! Marcar error
Add exponents when multiplying like bases: 2^(3+2) = 2^5 = 32.

Simplify (x^2)^3.
Selecciona una respuesta
x^5 x^8 x^9 x^6
★ Guardar
! Marcar error
When raising a power to a power, multiply exponents: 2 × 3 = 6, so the result is x^6.
Pregunta 13
What is the area of a rectangle with length 6 and width 4?
Selecciona una respuesta
20 48 24 10
★ Guardar

Pregunta 17
What is the area of a circle with radius 3?
Selecciona una respuesta
3π 27π 9π 6π
★ Guardar
! Marcar error
Area = πr^2 = π × 3^2 = 9π. Circumference would be 6π.
Pregunta 18
What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 3 and 4?
Selecciona una respuesta
5 7 12 25
★ Guardar
! Marcar error
By the Pythagorean theorem: 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25, so the hypotenuse is 5.
