1. Which of the following is an equation?
A. x = 2 Correct
B. x²+xy-y
C. 3x - 4 = 20y^2 Correct
D. 13y = y + 1 Correct
E. x/5 = 9 Correct
Explanation
An equation is a statement that two expressions are equal, containing an equals sign. x=2 is an equation. x²+xy-y is an expression, not an equation. 3x-4=20y^2 is an equation. 13y=y+1 is an equation. x/5=9 is an equation. Therefore, the equations are A, C, D, and E.
2. Which of the following best describes the expression shown?
A. The expression has two terms, none of which are constants.
B. The expression has two terms, one of which is a constant.
C. The expression has three terms, one of which is a constant. Correct
D. The expression has three terms, all of which are constants.
Explanation
The expression has three terms: 5x², 2x, and -2. The term -2 is a constant. Option A is incorrect because there are three terms and one is a constant. Option B is wrong as there are three terms. Option D is incorrect because not all terms are constants; 5x² and 2x are variable terms.
3. Which of the following lists contains all the coefficients of the expression 12x^3 + 7x^2 + 24x?
A. 2, 3
B. 7, 12
C. 7, 12, 24 Correct
D. 2, 3, 7, 12, 24
Explanation
Coefficients are the numerical factors of the terms. For 12x³, the coefficient is 12; for 7x², it is 7; for 24x, it is 24. So the coefficients are 12, 7, and 24. Option A lists digits from the exponents. Option B misses 24. Option D includes digits that are not coefficients.
4. In terms of x, what is the sum of the lengths of the sides of the preceding polygon?
Question image
A. 18x-22
B. 21x-5
C. 23x+32
D. 19x-2 Correct
Explanation
To find the sum of the lengths of the sides of the polygon, we first identify the given side lengths: AB = 10- 2x, BC = x+3, CD=4x-5, DE = 6x-7, EF = 62-5, and FA = 42 +2. Next, we add these expressions together: (10-2)+(x+3)+(4x-5)+(6x-7)+(6x-5)+(4x+2). Combining like terms, we group all coefficients of a and constant values: (-2x+x+4x+6x+6x+ 4x)+(10+3-5-7-5+2). Simplifying further, the coefficient of adds up to 192, while the constants simplify to -2. Therefore, the total sum of the lengths of all the sides of the polygon is 19 - 2. This expression represents the perimeter of the polygon in terms of 2.
5. The preceding figure shows the solution set of which of the following inequalities?
Question image
A. 3x - 1 > 2x + 3
B. 3x - 1 >= 2x + 3
C. 3x - 1 < 2x + 3 Correct
D. 3x - 1 <= 2x + 3
Explanation
The figure shows a number line with shading to the left of 4, indicating that the solution set includes all values of x less than 4 but not equal to 4, as shown by the open circle. To determine which inequality matches this, we test the options. Starting with 3x−1<2x+3, subtract 2x from both sides to get x−1<3. Adding 1 to both sides yields x<4, which exactly matches the shaded region in the figure. The open circle confirms that 4 is not included in the solution set, meaning the inequality is strict (≤). Therefore, the inequality represented by the figure is 3x−1<2x+3, which corresponds to the third option in the list.
