Pick an answer to see the worked solution.
How many solutions does the equation 7x = 7x have?
Choose an answer to see the worked solution.
Worked solutionBoth sides are identical, so the equation is true for every value of x. Subtracting 7x from both sides leaves 0 = 0, which is always true. There are infinitely many solutions.
At a school, every student ID number is assigned to exactly one locker, but a single locker can be shared by two students with different ID numbers.
Does the relation "student ID number → locker number" describe a function?
Choose an answer to see the worked solution.
Worked solutionA function only requires that each input (ID number) map to exactly one output (locker). Two different inputs sharing the same output (two students, one locker) is completely allowed -- that describes a repeated y-value, which never breaks the function rule.
Figure B is the image of figure A after a dilation with a scale factor of 1 centered at the origin, then a reflection across the x-axis. Lena says figure B cannot be congruent to figure A because the sequence includes a dilation. Which statement is correct?
Choose an answer to see the worked solution.
Worked solutionA dilation multiplies every distance from the center by the scale factor. With a scale factor of 1, every distance stays the same, so every point stays where it is. The reflection then flips the figure without changing any length or angle. So figure B is congruent to figure A. Naming a dilation is not enough to decide; the scale factor decides. A reflection never changes size, and there was no change in size to undo.
Teacher questions
When should I use each part?
Assign each practice set as you teach its topics, then give the full-length practice test once everything has been taught.
What about calculators?
The practice follows the state's calculator rule for this grade: a calculator on the whole test. Check your school's testing guidance for the current rules.
Are these actual state test questions?
No. Every item is original and aligned to the published standards. Nothing is copied from a state test, a released item or a reference sheet.
