Sample Nagasaki High School Entrance Exam - Mathematics Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Nagasaki High School Entrance Exam - Mathematics exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Calculate the value of -7 + 12.
A.5
B.-5
C.-19
D.19
Explanation: Adding a positive number to a negative number means moving right on the number line: -7 + 12 = 12 - 7 = 5.
2Simplify the algebraic expression: 5(2x - 3) - 3(x - 4).
A.7x - 27
B.7x - 3
C.7x + 3
D.7x - 7
Explanation: Expand each term using the distributive property: 5(2x - 3) - 3(x - 4) = 10x - 15 - 3x + 12. Grouping like terms gives (10x - 3x) + (-15 + 12) = 7x - 3.
3Calculate: (-4)^2 - 3 * (-5).
A.-31
B.1
C.31
D.-1
Explanation: First calculate the power (-4)^2 = 16. Next calculate the product -3 * (-5) = +15. Summing these values gives 16 + 15 = 31.
4Solve the linear equation: (x - 1) / 3 = (x + 3) / 5.
A.x = 4
B.x = 14
C.x = 9
D.x = 7
Explanation: Cross-multiply to clear denominators: 5(x - 1) = 3(x + 3). Expanding both sides yields 5x - 5 = 3x + 9. Subtracting 3x and adding 5 gives 2x = 14, so x = 7.
5Simplify the radical expression: √75 - √27 + √48.
A.6√3
B.5√3
C.12√3
D.2√3
Explanation: Simplify each radical into simplest radical form: √75 = 5√3, √27 = 3√3, and √48 = 4√3. Combining like terms gives (5 - 3 + 4)√3 = 6√3.
6Expand the binomial square expression: (2x - 3)^2.
A.4x² - 9
B.4x² - 12x + 9
C.4x² - 6x + 9
D.4x² + 12x + 9
Explanation: Apply the identity (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2. Here a = 2x and b = 3, so (2x)^2 - 2(2x)(3) + 3^2 = 4x^2 - 12x + 9.
7Factor completely: 5x^2 - 45.
A.5(x - 3)^2
B.(5x - 15)(x + 3)
C.5(x - 3)(x + 3)
D.5(x² - 9x)
Explanation: First factor out the common monomial factor 5 to get 5(x^2 - 9). Then apply the difference of squares identity (x^2 - 9) = (x - 3)(x + 3), yielding 5(x - 3)(x + 3).
8Solve the system of simultaneous linear equations: 2x + y = 7 3x - y = 8
A.x = 4, y = -1
B.x = 3, y = -1
C.x = 2, y = 3
D.x = 3, y = 1
Explanation: Add the two equations to eliminate y: (2x + y) + (3x - y) = 7 + 8 => 5x = 15 => x = 3. Substitute x = 3 into 2(3) + y = 7 => 6 + y = 7 => y = 1.
9Calculate and simplify: 6 / √3 + √12.
A.4√3
B.3√3
C.5√3
D.6√3
Explanation: Rationalize the denominator of 6 / √3: (6 * √3) / 3 = 2√3. Simplify √12 = 2√3. Adding them together gives 2√3 + 2√3 = 4√3.
10Solve the quadratic equation: x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0.
A.x = -3, -4
B.x = 3, 4
C.x = 2, 6
D.x = -2, -6
Explanation: Factor the quadratic expression: x^2 - 7x + 12 = (x - 3)(x - 4) = 0. Setting each factor to zero yields x = 3 and x = 4.
