Answer Key — Math 6 (Grade 6) Midterm — Units 3–4
- A — −5 > −8 −5 is to the right of −8 on a number line.
- C — The diver is 30 feet below sea level. Negative elevation means below sea level.
- C — (4, 2) Reflecting across the x-axis changes the sign of the y-coordinate.
- C — 12 Absolute value is distance from 0, so |−12| = 12.
- D — 10 units Same x-value, so distance is |6 − (−4)| = 10.
- D — Quadrant II Negative x and positive y place a point in Quadrant II.
- D — 11°F −4 + 15 = 11.
- D — 7 Opposites are the same distance from 0 on opposite sides.
- C — −3, −0.5, 0.25, 2 −3 is farthest left on the number line, then −0.5, 0.25, and 2.
- C — −1.5 −2 < −1.5 < −1.
- D — 125 5 × 5 × 5 = 125.
- C — 7 The coefficient is the number multiplied by the variable.
- D — 20 Exponent first: 8; then 4 × 3 = 12; 8 + 12 = 20.
- B — 13 8 ÷ 2 = 4; 3^2 = 9; 4 + 9 = 13.
- A — 2n − 5 Twice n is 2n; five less than that is 2n − 5.
- C — 17 3(4) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17.
- A — 3a + 5b Combine like terms: 4a − a = 3a and 3b + 2b = 5b.
- C — 6x + 12 Distribute: 3 × 2x = 6x and 3 × 4 = 12.
- D — 6(3m + 4) Factor out the GCF 6: 6 × 3m = 18m and 6 × 4 = 24.
- B — 8t + 3 Each ticket adds $8, and the $3 fee is charged once.
Written Response — Look-Fors
- Expressions such as 12x + 8; names the distributive property; substitution check showing equal values.
