1Solve for x: 3(2x - 5) - 4 = 2x + 9.
A.5
B.6
C.7
D.8
Explanation: Distribute first: 3(2x - 5) - 4 = 6x - 15 - 4 = 6x - 19. Then 6x - 19 = 2x + 9, so 4x = 28 and x = 7.
2Which inequality is equivalent to -2(3x - 1) < 10?
A.x < -4/3
B.x > -4/3
C.x < 2
D.x > 2
Explanation: Expand the left side to get -6x + 2 < 10. Subtract 2 to get -6x < 8, then divide by -6 and reverse the inequality: x > -4/3.
3What is the solution (x, y) to the system 2x + 3y = 13 and x - y = 1?
A.(2, 1)
B.(11/5, 16/5)
C.(16/5, 11/5)
D.(4, 3)
Explanation: From x - y = 1, write x = y + 1. Substitute into 2x + 3y = 13 to get 2(y + 1) + 3y = 13, so 5y = 11 and y = 11/5. Then x = y + 1 = 16/5.
4If 5a - 2b = 3c, which expression gives b in terms of a and c?
A.(5a - 3c)/2
B.(3c - 5a)/2
C.(5a + 3c)/2
D.5a - 3c
Explanation: Subtract 5a from both sides to get -2b = 3c - 5a. Dividing by -2 gives b = (5a - 3c)/2.
5Solve |2x - 5| = 9.
A.x = 7 only
B.x = -2 only
C.x = -2 or x = 7
D.x = 2 or x = -7
Explanation: An absolute value equation |A| = 9 means A = 9 or A = -9. Solve 2x - 5 = 9 to get x = 7, and solve 2x - 5 = -9 to get x = -2.
6Solve (x - 3)/4 + (x + 1)/6 = 5.
A.11
B.57/5
C.67/5
D.15
Explanation: Multiply every term by 12, the least common denominator: 3(x - 3) + 2(x + 1) = 60. This simplifies to 3x - 9 + 2x + 2 = 60, so 5x = 67 and x = 67/5.
7How many solutions does 4(2x - 3) = 8x + 5 have?
A.No solutions
B.Exactly one solution
C.Exactly two solutions
D.Infinitely many solutions
Explanation: The left side expands to 8x - 12. The equation becomes 8x - 12 = 8x + 5, which would require -12 = 5 after subtracting 8x from both sides. That contradiction means there is no solution.
8For what value of k does the system 3x - 2y = 8 and 6x + ky = 10 have no solution?
A.-4
B.-2
C.2
D.4
Explanation: For no solution, the two lines must be parallel but distinct. Doubling the first equation gives 6x - 4y = 16, so the second equation must have the same left-side coefficients but a different constant. Thus k = -4, and 10 is different from 16.
9Solve 0.4x - 1.2 = 0.1(2x + 6).
A.3
B.6
C.9
D.12
Explanation: The right side is 0.2x + 0.6. Then 0.4x - 1.2 = 0.2x + 0.6, so 0.2x = 1.8 and x = 9.
10Which interval represents the solution to 2 < 3x - 1 <= 11?
A.1 < x <= 4
B.1 <= x < 4
C.x < 1 or x >= 4
D.3 < x <= 12
Explanation: Add 1 to all three parts of the compound inequality to get 3 < 3x <= 12. Divide all parts by 3 to get 1 < x <= 4.

ACCUPLACER AAF: Suggested Study Strategy

1Make function notation automatic: practice evaluating, composing, and interpreting f(x) before working longer problems.
2Review graph features such as slope, intercepts, vertex, roots, asymptotes, and transformations.
3For rational and radical equations, check for extraneous solutions after solving.
4Memorize core exponent, logarithm, factoring, and right-triangle trigonometry relationships so you can use them under placement-test pressure.
