1Write an expression for "7 more than a number x."

Show answer & explanation
Answer: x + 7
"More than" means addition, so the expression is x + 7.

2A triangle has a base of 7 cm and a height of 6 cm. What is its area, in square centimeters?

Show answer & explanation
Answer: 21
Area = (base × height) ÷ 2, so the area is 21 square centimeters. A student who instead finds the perimeter or forgets to halve the product of a triangle's dimensions would select a distractor.

3What is 2/4 ÷ 4/2, written in simplest form?

Show answer & explanation
Answer: 1/4
Dividing by a fraction means multiplying by its reciprocal: 2/4 × 2/4 = 1/4.

4Solve for x: 6x = 66

Show answer & explanation
Answer: 11
Isolate x by applying the inverse operation to both sides of the equation, giving x = 11.

5A car travels at a constant speed and covers 48 miles in 8 hours. What is the car's unit rate in miles per hour?

Show answer & explanation
Answer: 6
Unit rate = total distance ÷ total time = 48 ÷ 8 = 6 miles per hour.

6What is -6 + 6?

Show answer & explanation
Answer: 0
Adding a negative and a positive integer: find the difference of absolute values and keep the sign of the number with greater absolute value: -6 + 6 = 0.

7Find the range of this data set: [2, 32, 33, 35, 39]

Show answer & explanation
Answer: 37
The range is the difference between the greatest and least values. For this data set, the range equals 37.

8Solve for x: 3x - 4 = 44

Show answer & explanation
Answer: 16
Isolate the variable: 3x = 48 (undo the subtraction), then divide both sides by 3 to get x = 16.

9A spinner is divided into 8 equal sections numbered 1-8. What is the probability of landing on a number greater than 5?

Show answer & explanation
Answer: 3/8
Numbers greater than 5 are 6, 7, 8 — 3 out of 8 sections, so P = 3/8.

10Evaluate the expression 9x + 2 when x = 2.

Show answer & explanation
Answer: 20
Substitute x = 2: 9(2) + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20.
