Question 1: Solve 3x - 7 = 20.
Choices:
1) x = 9 2) x = 7 3) x = 11 4) x = 13
Correct Answer: x = 9
Explanation: Add 7 to both sides to get 3x = 27, then divide by 3. Thus x = 9.

Question 2: Which solution set satis�es 5 - 2x > 11?
Choices:
1) x > -3 2) x < -3 3) x > 3 4) x < 3
Correct Answer: x < -3
Explanation: Subtract 5 to get -2x > 6. Dividing by -2 reverses the inequality, giving x < -3.
Question 3: If x + y = 11 and 2x - y = 4, what is x?
Choices:
1) 3 2) 4 3) 5 4) 6
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation: Add the equations: 3x = 15. Therefore x = 5.Page 2
Question 4: For f(x) = 2x^2 - 3, what is f(-2)?
Choices:
1) 11 2) 13 3) 5 4) 1
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation: Substitute -2: f(-2) = 2(-2)^2 - 3 = 2 - 3 = 5.
Question 5: Let f(x) = x + 4 and g(x) = 3x. What is f(g)?
Choices:
1) 6 2) 8 3) 10 4) 18
Correct Answer: 10
Explanation: First g = 6. Then f = 6 + 4 = 10.
