    ALGEBRA TEST

    1. The ratio of the height of two buildings is 7 to 5. The first building is 210 feet tall.
    How tall is the second building?

    ANSWER: 150 FEET


    REASON: 7: 5 = 210: x
    5/x = 210/7
    5/X = 30
    X =30*5
    X = 150

    2. Joe’s current age is five times Mary’s age ten years ago. If Mary is currently m years old,
    what is Joe’s current age in terms of m?

    ANSWER: 5m – 50
    REASON: Mary’s age 10 yrs ago = m – 10 (m preceeds Mary as Joe
    is older)
    Joe is 5x older = 5(m-10)
    Total = 5m – 50

    3. Find x: x + 9 = 18 - 2x

    ANSWER: 3
    REASON: x + 9 = 18 -2x
    x + 2x = 18 - 9
    3x = 9
    x = 9/3
    x=3

    4. Evaluate: x4 − y if x = 3 and y = −20

    ANSWER: 101
    REASON: x4 – y (substitute the value of x and y to the number given)
    34 – (-20)
    81 – (-20)
    81 + 20
    101

    5. If X equals 5, what is the value of 6X + 2X - X?

    ANSWER: 35
    REASON: Substitute x with 5
    6 (5) + 2 (5) – 5
    30 + 10 – 5
    40 – 5
    35
    6. Solve X where 5X = 20.

    ANSWER: 4
    REASON: 5X = 20
    X = 20/5
    X=4

    7. 6x - 10 = 4(x + 3). Solve for x.

    ANSWER: X = 11
    REASON: 6X – 10 = 4(X + 3)
    6X – 10 = 4X + 12
    6X – 4X = 10 + 12
    2X = 22
    X = 22/2
    X = 11

    8. Irene is N years old. If Tom is twice as old, which of the following algebraic statements
    shows his age now?

    ANSWER: 2N

    9. Solve for x: 2(x+7)-3(2x-4)=-18

    ANSWER: X = 11
    REASON: 2 (X+7) – 3(2X – 4) = -18
    (2X +14) – (6X – 12) = -18
    4X + 26 = -18
    4X = (-18) – 28
    4X = 46
    X = 46/4
    X = 11

    10. Solve the following inequality: -20<4-2x

    ANSWER: 12> X
    REASON: -20 < 4 – 2X
    -20 = 4 - 2X
    -20 - 4 = 2X
    24 = 2X
    24/2 = X
    12 > X (12 is higher than x )

    11. Multiply: (2x+5)(3x² - 2x - 4)

    ANSWER: 6x3 + 11x2 +18x - 20


    REASON: (2x+5)(3x² - 2x - 4) = [multiply 2x and 5 to 3x²,2x and 4 separately)
    [remember to add the superscripts]
    (6x – 4x + 8x) + (15x – 10x – 20)
    3 2 2

    6x3 + 11x2 – 2x – 20

    12. Simplify (2x2 + 2x - 12) / (x - 2)

    ANSWER: 2X + 6
    REASON: (2x2 + 2x - 12) / (x - 2)
    4 + 2X -12 / X – 2
    2X – 8 / X – 2
    2X + 6
    13. Which of the following is not a grouping symbol?
    a. Bars
    b. ARROWS
    c. Parenthesis
    d. Braces

    14. Solve: (3x + 4y)(2x + 5y) = ?

    ANSWER: (3x + 4y) (2x +5y)


    REASON: Use the FOIL Method (multiply the First two terms (3x and 2x), followed
    by the Outer terms (4y and 5y) , then the Inner two terms (4y and 2x) and the Last
    two terms (3x and 5y),then make a summation)
    6x2 + 20y2 + 8xy + 15xy
    6x2 + 23xy + 20y2

    15. Simplify: (-3a²b²)(4a⁵b³)³

    ANSWER: -192a17b11
    REASON: (-3a2b2) (64a15b9)
    -192a17b11

    16. Solve for X: 3(x + 1) = 5(x − 2) + 7

    ANSWER: 3
    REASON: 3(x + 1) = 5(x − 2) + 7
    3x + 3 = 5x – 10 + 7
    3x + 3 = 5x – 3
    3x + 6 = 5x
    6 = 5x – 3x
    2x = 6
    X = 6/2
    X=3

    17. A father gave $500 to his two sons. He gave X dollars to one son. What is the correct
    expression that shows the amount he gave to the other.

    ANSWER: 500 – X
    18. Solve for x: 5x + 4x + 7 = x + 15

    ANSWER: 1
    REASON: 5x + 4x + 7 = x + 15
    9x + 7 = x + 15
    9x - x = 15 – 7
    8x = 8
    X = 8/8
    X=1

    19. The length of a rectangle is 3 times its width. If the width of the rectangle is 5 inches,
    what is the rectangle's area, in square inches?

    ANSWER: 75 in2
    REASON: 5 x 5 = 25
    25 x 3 = 75

    20. Given f(x)=5x-4, find the value of x if f(x)=31

    ANSWER: 7
    REASON: f(x)=5x-4
    31 = 5x – 4
    5x = 31 + 4
    5x = 35
    X = 35/5
    X=7

    21. Express this expression into decimal 4 x 10⁵

    ANSWER: 400,000

    22. Express this expression into scientific notation 0.0012345

    ANSWER: 1.2345 X 10-3

    23. Find x: 3x+42=2(3x+9)

    ANSWER: 8
    REASON: 3x+42=2(3x+9)
    3x + 42 = 6x + 18
    6x – 3x = 42 – 18
    3x = 24
    X = 24/3
    X=8
