Which of the following is equivalent to the expression 2x + 5y - 3x - 7y?
- -x - 2y
- -x + 2y
- x - 2y
- x + 2y
- Explanation: 2x - 3x = -x, and 5y - 7y = -2y. Therefore, the expression simplifies to -x - 2y.

Answer: A Explanation: -
If x + 2y = 10 and x - y = 2, what is the value of y?
- 4
- 3
- 2
- 1
- Explanation: Add the equations x + 2y = 10 and x - y = 2 to eliminate x:(x + 2y) + (x - y) = 10 + 2 3y = 12 y = 4

Answer: B Explanation: -
Which of the following is the equation of a line that passes through the point (2, 4) and has a slope of -3?
- y = -3x
- y = -3x + 4
- y = -3x - 2
- y = -3x + 10
- Explanation: The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The point (2, 4) is on the line, so we can use it to solve for b:4 = -3(2) + b b = 10 Therefore, the equation of the line is y = -3x + 10.

Answer: C Explanation: -
Which of the following is the equation of a circle with center (3, -2) and radius 5?
- (x - 3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 5
- (x + 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 5
- (x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25
- (x + 3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 25
- Explanation: The equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r is (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2. Therefore, the equation of the circle with center (3, -2) and radius 5 is (x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25.

Answer: C Explanation: -
If a rectangular prism has a length of 8, a width of 5, and a height of 3, what is its volume?
- 40
- 60
- 80
- 120
- Explanation: The volume of a rectangular prism is found by multiplying its length, width, and height. Therefore, the volume of the prism is 8 x 5 x 3 = 60.

Answer: B Explanation: -
If the square root of x is equal to y, what is the value of x?
- `y^2`
- y/2
- y
- 2y
- N/A

Answer: A Explanation: -
What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 4) and (6, 8)?
- 2-Jan
- 1
- 2
- 4
- Explanation: The formula for slope is (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁). Plugging in the values, we get (8 - 4) / (6 - 2) = 4 / 4 = 1. Therefore, the slope of the line is 1.

Answer: A Explanation: -
What is the value of x in the equation 2x + 7 = 15?
- 4
- 6
- 8
- 9
- Explanation: Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation to get 2x = 8. Then divide both sides by 2 to get x = 4.

Answer: B Explanation: -
What is the value of f(2) for the function f(x) = x² + 3x - 4?
- -1
- 0
- 4
- 8
- Explanation: Substitute x = 2 into the function f(x) = x² + 3x - 4 to get f(2) = 2² + 3(2) - 4 = 4 + 6 - 4 = 6.

Answer: C Explanation: -
What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 2x + 3 and passes through the point (1, 4)?
- y = -1/2x + 9/2
- y = -2x + 6
- y = 1/2x + 7/2
- y = 2x + 2
- Explanation: The slope of a line perpendicular to y = 2x + 3 is -1/2 (since the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other). Using the point-slope formula, the equation of the line is y - 4 = -1/2(x - 1), which simplifies to y = -1/2x + 9/2.
