1. Find the value of x in the equation 3x + 5 = 17.

A) x = 4

B) x = 6

C) x = 7

D) x = 8

Answer: C) x = 7

Rationale: To solve for x, subtract 5 from both sides of the equation and

then divide by 3 to isolate x.

2. Simplify the [removed]2x^2)(3x^3).

A) 5x^6

B) 6x^5

C) 5x^5

D) 6x^6

Answer: A) 5x^5

Rationale: When multiplying variables with the same base, add the

exponents.

3. If f(x) = 2x^2 - 5x + 3, what is f(4)?

A) 25

B) 29

C) 31

D) 33

Answer: C) 31

Rationale: Substitute x = 4 into the function and simplify to find the value

of f(4).

4. Solve the inequality 2x + 1 > 7.

A) x > 3

B) x > 4

C) x > 6

D) x > 5

Answer: A) x > 3

Rationale: Solve for x by subtracting 1 from both sides and then dividing

by 2.

5. Factor the exp
