Use a common denominator of 20: 3/5 = 12/20 and 1/4 = 5/20, so 12/20 + 5/20 = 17/20.
ข้อ 2
What is 20% of 45?
20% = 0.2, so 0.2 x 45 = 9. To find a percentage, convert it to a decimal and multiply by the original amount. Checking 10% of 45 = 4.5 also confirms that 20% is double 4.5, which is 9.
ข้อ 3
Increase 80 by 25%.
25% of 80 is 20, so 80 + 20 = 100. An increase means adding the percentage amount to the original value. Since one quarter of 80 is 20, the increased value is 80 + 20 = 100.
ข้อ 4
Which ratio is equivalent to 3:5?
Multiply both parts by 4: 3:5 = 12:20. Equivalent ratios are formed by multiplying or dividing both parts by the same number. Because 3 x 4 = 12 and 5 x 4 = 20, 12:20 keeps the same relationship as 3:5.
ข้อ 5
What is the lowest common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 8?
Multiples of 6 include 6, 12, 18, 24; multiples of 8 include 8, 16, 24, so the LCM is 24.

Move the decimal point 4 places to the right to get 7.2, so the power is -4.
ข้อ 8
What is the positive square root of 144?
12 x 12 = 144, so sqrt(144) = 12. The positive square root is the nonnegative number that squares to give the original value. Squaring 12 confirms 144, while 14 x 14 = 196 and 11 x 11 = 121.
ข้อ 9
Work out 2^5.
2^5 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32.

What is the value of 5^0?
Any non-zero number raised to the power 0 is 1.
ข้อ 12
Simplify 6x + 3 - 2x + 7.
Collect like terms: 6x - 2x = 4x and 3 + 7 = 10, so the result is 4x + 10.
ข้อ 13
Solve x + 7 = 15.
Subtract 7 from both sides: x = 15 - 7 = 8. Solving x + 7 = 15 requires isolating x by doing the inverse operation on both sides. Substituting x = 8 back gives 8 + 7 = 15, which checks.
ข้อ 14
Solve 3x = 21.
Divide both sides by 3: x = 21 / 3 = 7. Because x is multiplied by 3, the inverse operation is division. Checking 3 x 7 = 21 confirms that 7 is the correct solution.
ข้อ 15
Solve 2x + 5 = 13.
Subtract 5 then divide by 2: 2x = 8, so x = 4.
ข้อ 16
Solve x/4 = 6.
Multiply both sides by 4: x = 24. Because x is divided by 4, the inverse operation is multiplication. Substituting 24 back gives 24 / 4 = 6, so the solution checks.
ข้อ 17
Solve 5x - 3 = 2x + 9.
Subtract 2x from both sides to get 3x - 3 = 9, then add 3: 3x = 12, so x = 4.
ข้อ 18
Expand 3(x + 4).
Multiply each term inside the bracket by 3: 3x + 12.
ข้อ 19
Expand (x + 2)(x + 5).
Using FOIL: x^2 + 5x + 2x + 10 = x^2 + 7x + 10.
ข้อ 20
Factorise x^2 + 5x.
The common factor is x, so x^2 + 5x = x(x + 5).
ข้อ 21
Simplify 10x^5 / 2x^2.
Divide coefficients and subtract powers: 10/2 = 5 and 5 - 2 = 3, so 5x^3.
ข้อ 22
What is the next term of the sequence 3, 7, 11, 15, ...?
The sequence increases by 4 each time, so the next term is 15 + 4 = 19.
ข้อ 23
What is the nth term of the sequence 5, 8, 11, 14, ...?
The difference is 3, so the nth term has 3n; at n = 1, 3n = 3 and 3 + 2 = 5, so it is 3n + 2.
ข้อ 24
Solve 2x - 4 > 6.
Add 4 to both sides: 2x > 10, then divide by 2: x > 5.
ข้อ 25
What is the gradient of the line y = 3x + 2?
In y = mx + c, m is the gradient, so the gradient is 3.

In y = mx + c, c is the y-intercept, so the y-intercept is 7.
ข้อ 27
If y = 2x + 1 and x = 4, what is y?
Substitute x = 4: y = 2(4) + 1 = 9. Replace x with 4, multiply by 2 first, then add 1. The result is 8 + 1 = 9, so the point (4, 9) lies on the line.
ข้อ 28
Solve the simultaneous equations x + y = 10 and x - y = 4. What is x?
Add the equations: 2x = 14, so x = 7. Then y = 3.
ข้อ 29

A prime number has exactly two factors.
A prime number has exactly two distinct factors: 1 and itself.
ข้อ 62
The value of 3^2 is 6.
3^2 = 3 x 3 = 9, not 6. The exponent 2 means multiply the base by itself once, so 3 squared is 9. Multiplying 3 by 2 gives 6, which confuses powers with multiplication.
