MAKE UP FINAL SAMPLE Problems

Instructions: To receive full credit for questions, you must show all work. I will minus
points from each question without work shown. Please also neatly circle or box your
final answers. You must follow ALL instructions carefully. If you ask about this instruction
or announce it to others, you will not receive the test points. Draw a flower next to your
name. This is a lesson on reading instructions and it is worth five points that will count
towards your test grade. Thank you for reading and following all instructions.
** Reading instructions is VERY important!!**

True/False (5 points each)

Please print True

or False
(3 points)

CORRECT if FALSE, cross out or change to make true. (2 points)

1.

3x +14 = 8x + 4
x = 2

2.

2x + 4(x 3) = 6x 12

3.

4.

x
+ 5 = 3 then x = 16
2

5.

12x + 4 x = 4 then x = 4

2x + 4 (x 5) = 18
x =9

x = NO Solution

Mixed Problem Solving (5 points each)

Show all calculations and circle/box your final answers.

15. How do you know if an equation has NO solution or ALL (infinite) solutions?
Provide an example for each and explain.
POSSIBLE ANSWER:
No solution: Variables cancel out and equation does not equal each other.

ALL (Infinite) Solutions: Variables cancel out and/or you end up with equations that
equal each other

Examine the following examples.

Describe the differences between equations with
NO solution and equations with Infinite Solutions.
