1What is the value of the expression (8 + 2) × 3?

A.30

B.14

C.26

D.48

Explanation: Parentheses first: 8 + 2 = 10. Then multiply: 10 × 3 = 30.

2Evaluate: 4 × (6 - 2).

A.16

B.22

C.8

D.24

Explanation: Parentheses first: 6 - 2 = 4. Then multiply: 4 × 4 = 16.

3Which expression has a value of 20?

A.(12 - 2) × 2

B.12 - 2 × 2

C.(12 + 2) - 2

D.12 × 2 - 2

Explanation: (12 - 2) × 2: parentheses first → 10 × 2 = 20. Check others: 12 - 2×2 = 12 - 4 = 8; (12+2)-2 = 12; 12×2-2 = 22.

4Evaluate: 2 × [3 + (5 - 2)].

A.12

B.10

C.16

D.6

Explanation: Inner parentheses first: 5 - 2 = 3. Brackets next: 3 + 3 = 6. Then multiply: 2 × 6 = 12.

5Evaluate: [4 × (3 + 2)] - 5.

A.15

B.9

C.20

D.25

Explanation: Inner parentheses: 3 + 2 = 5. Brackets: 4 × 5 = 20. Subtract: 20 - 5 = 15.

6Write an expression that represents: "Add 7 and 4, then multiply by 5."

A.(7 + 4) × 5

B.7 + 4 × 5

C.7 × 4 + 5

D.5 × 7 + 4

Explanation: First add 7 and 4: (7 + 4). Then multiply the sum by 5: (7 + 4) × 5. The parentheses ensure the addition is done first.

7Which expression means "subtract 3 from 15, then divide by 4"?

A.(15 - 3) ÷ 4

B.15 - 3 ÷ 4

C.15 ÷ (4 - 3)

D.15 ÷ 4 - 3

Explanation: Subtract 3 from 15 first: (15 - 3) = 12. Then divide by 4: 12 ÷ 4 = 3. The expression is (15 - 3) ÷ 4.

8Without calculating, which expression is greater: (6 + 4) × 3 or 6 + 4 × 3?

A.(6 + 4) × 3

B.6 + 4 × 3

C.They are equal

D.Cannot be determined

Explanation: (6 + 4) × 3 = 10 × 3 = 30. The second: 6 + 4 × 3 = 6 + 12 = 18. 30 > 18, so (6 + 4) × 3 is greater. Grouping the sum before multiplying yields a larger value.

9Lena's rule is "start at 0, add 2." Max's rule is "start at 0, add 6." What is the relationship between corresponding terms in their patterns?

A.Max's term is always 3 times Lena's term

B.Max's term is always 2 times Lena's term

C.Max's term is always 4 more than Lena's term

D.Max's term is always 6 more than Lena's term

Explanation: Lena: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8... Max: 0, 6, 12, 18, 24... At each position, Max's term = 3 times Lena's term (0=3x0, 6=3x2, 12=3x4, 18=3x6). The relationship is Max = 3 x Lena.

10Rule 1: start at 0, add 2. Rule 2: start at 0, add 6. The first four ordered pairs (Rule 1, Rule 2) are (0,0), (2,6), (4,12), (6,18). What is the next ordered pair?

A.(8, 24)

B.(8, 20)

C.(10, 24)

D.(8, 14)

Explanation: Rule 1 continues: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 (add 2 each time). Rule 2 continues: 0, 6, 12, 18, 24 (add 6 each time). The 5th ordered pair is (8, 24). Note Rule 2 = 3 × Rule 1 at each position.
