Answer Key — Algebra I (Grades 8–9) Midterm — Quick Check, Units 1–3
- B — 7x - 7 8x - 12 - x + 5 = 7x - 7.
- B — 28 n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 87 gives 3n = 84, so n = 28.
- A — x = 21 Add 4: (2/3)x = 14. Multiply by 3/2: x = 21.
- A — 5 3(5) - 5 = 10, and 10 ≥ 10 is true.
- B — x < -4 -4x > 16; dividing by -4 reverses the sign: x < -4.
- A — 300 35 + 0.05t ≤ 50 gives 0.05t ≤ 15, so t ≤ 300.
- C — 4 Set x = 0: 5y = 20, so y = 4.
- C — -3/2 Perpendicular slopes are negative reciprocals: -3/2.
- A — 4 -2x + 9 = 1 gives -2x = -8, so x = 4.
- D — y = -2 Every point on a horizontal line has the same y-value, -2.
