Question 1. What is the value of 3(x + 4) when x = 5?
A. 15
B. 27
C. 19
D. 12
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Substitute x = 5: 3(5 + 4) = 3(9) = 27. Order of operations requires evaluating the
parentheses first.
Question 2. Simplify: 2/3 + 1/6.
A. 1/2
B. 5/6
C. 3/9
D. 1/3
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Common denominator is 6: 4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6.

A. 17 cm²
B. 34 cm²
C. 60 cm²
D. 24 cm²
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Area of a rectangle = length × width = 12 × 5 = 60 cm².
Question 4. Solve for x: 2x − 7 = 11.

A. 7
B. 9
C. 12
D. 3
Correct Answer: D

B. (x + 3)(x − 3)
C. (x + 9)(x − 1)
D. (x − 9)(x + 1)
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Difference of squares: a² − b² = (a + b)(a − b) → (x + 3)(x − 3).
Question 17. Convert 0.375 to a fraction in simplest form.
A. 3/8
B. 375/1000
