B 5,283
5,287

5,344 − 57
Simplify the expression above. Which of the following is correct?
A 5,277
B 5,283
5,287
D 5,288
Question 1 Explanation:
The correct answer is (C). Remember that calculators are not permitted
on the TEAS math test, so make sure you are able to subtract large
numbers without using a calculator. (subtraction by regrouping)
Question 2
CORRECT
3(x − 4) = 18
Solve the equation above. Which of the following is correct?
A x = 3/2
B x = 22/3
C x = 6
x = 10
Question 2 Explanation:
The correct answer is (D). First divide both sides by 3:
3(x − 4) = 18
x − 4 = 18/3
x − 4 = 6
Then solve for x:
x − 4 = 6
x = 6 + 4
x = 10
Question 3
CORRECT
The above is known as what type of graph?
A Line Graph
Scatterplot
C Bar Graph
D Histogram
Question 3 Explanation:
The correct answer is (B). The above graph is known as a scatterplot,
which is a plot of points on x and y axes. In this case, each point would
have an x value equal to the temperature in degrees Celsius, and a y
value equal to the amount of money in dollars.
Question 4
CORRECT
(5x − 1) (3x + 2)
Simplify the expression above. Which of the following is correct?
A 15x2 − 7x + 3
15x2 + 7x − 2
C 15x2 + 7x − 3
D 15x2 − 7x − 2
Question 4 Explanation:
The correct answer is (B). The “FOIL method” is the easiest way to
remember how to multiply two-termed expressions. Multiply the First
two terms, then the Outer two terms, then the Inner two terms, and
then the Last two terms, then sum all four to arrive at the answer:
15x2 + 10x − 3x − 2
= 15x2 + 7x − 2
Question 5
CORRECT
Timmy can usually make six paper airplanes in an hour. However, if he
gets interrupted by his parents, he can only make four per hour. His
friend John can make seven paper airplanes per hour. One day, Timmy
and John decide to have a three-hour long contest to see who can
make the most paper airplanes. During the contest, Timmy is
interrupted once every hour. John also had to take a break and do
chores for an hour. How many more paper airplanes does the winner
make?
A 1
2
C 3
D 4
Question 5 Explanation:
The correct answer is (B). Because Timmy is interrupted during each
hour, he can only make four paper airplanes per hour, multiplied by 3
hours, for a total of 12 airplanes. John makes seven paper airplanes
during the two hours he works without chores, for a total of 14
airplanes. 14 airplanes minus 12 airplanes equals 2.
Question 6
CORRECT
If a car travels 360 kilometers in 5 hours, how far will it travel in 9
hours?
A 72
B 268
C 426
648
Question 6 Explanation:
The correct answer is (D). Given that it took 5 hours to travel 360km,
we can set up a ratio equation to figure out how far the car will travel
