1) A rectangle is cut in half to create two squares that each have an area of 25.
What is the perimeter of the original rectangle?
A) 20
B) 25
C) 30
D) 35 -- Correct Answer ✔✔ (C) 30. The formula to find the area of a
square is side x side. If each square has an area of 25, then the dimensions
of the rectangle are 5 x 10. The perimeter is the sum of all the sides, and
would therefore be 5 + 10 + 5 + 10 = 30.
2) 2 − 8 ÷ (24 ÷ 2) =
A) -6
B) -¾
C) 1
D) 2 -- Correct Answer ✔✔ (C) 1. Remember your order of operations:
Complete operations within parentheses first.
Calculate exponents.
Then multiply and divide in order from left to right.
Then add and subtract in order from left to right.
2 − 8 ÷ (24 ÷ 2) =
2 − 8 ÷ (16 ÷ 2) =
2−8÷8=

3) 3(x − 4) = 18, what is the value of x?
A) 3/2
B) 22/3
C) 6
D) 10 -- Correct Answer ✔✔ (D) 10. Begin by dividing both sides by 3 to
open the parenthesis:
x−4=6
Add 4 to both sides to find x:
x = 10
4) Line l passes through the point (−1, 2). Which of the following CANNOT be the
equation of line l?
A) y = 1 − x
B) y = x + 1
C) x = −1
D) y = x + 3 -- Correct Answer ✔✔ (B) y = x + 1. The slope-intercept form
of a line is y = mx + b. Since the line passes through (−1,2), there are
three possibilities: the line will have a slope (the "m" in front of the "x"
variable), it will be vertical (x = −1), or it will be horizontal (y = 2). Plug x
= −1 into all four equations to see which equation is not satisfied. The
only answer choice that doesn't give us y = 2 is (B).
5) If 511 = 52 x 5m, what is the value of m?
A) 3
B) 5.5
C) 9
