Section 10.8: Practice Test

This practice test simulates the final assessment covering all major topics from Chapters 1–10. Attempt all questions without consulting notes to evaluate your understanding.

Practice Test Questions

  1. Solve for \( x \): \( 5x - 7 = 18 \)
  2. Graph the line \( y = -x + 4 \) and determine slope and y-intercept.
  3. Solve by elimination: \( 2x + y = 7 \), \( 3x - y = 5 \)
  4. Factor the quadratic: \( x^2 - 7x + 10 \)
  5. Simplify: \( \frac{x^2 - 4}{x^2 - 2x} \)
  6. Solve the inequality: \( 3x + 5 > 11 \)
  7. Evaluate \( f(x) = x^2 - 3x + 2 \) for \( x = 5 \)
  8. Graph \( y = 3^x \)
  9. Complete the square: \( x^2 + 8x + 12 \)
  10. Word problem: The sum of two numbers is 36; one number is 4 more than the other. Find the numbers.
  11. Solve the system of three variables: \( x + y + z = 9 \), \( 2x - y + z = 5 \), \( x + 2y - z = 6 \)
  12. Determine if the system has one solution, none, or infinite solutions: \( 2x + 3y = 6 \), \( 4x + 6y = 12 \)
