Answer key with worked solutions
1. x = 6
Add 9 to both sides: 7x = 42. Divide by 7: x = 6.
2. x = 9
Distribute: 5x − 10 = 3x + 8. Subtract 3x and add 10: 2x = 18, so x = 9.
3. x < −4
Subtract 4: −3x > 12. Divide by −3 and reverse the inequality sign: x < −4.
4. f(−2) = −13
Substitute x = −2: 3(−2) − 7 = −6 − 7 = −13.
5. m = 3
m = (17 − 5) ÷ (6 − 2) = 12 ÷ 4 = 3.
6. y = −2x + 6
Point-slope form: y − 4 = −2(x − 1). Simplify: y = −2x + 2 + 4 = −2x + 6.
7. x = 3, y = 5
Substitute: 3x + (2x − 1) = 14, so 5x = 15 and x = 3. Then y = 2(3) − 1 = 5.
8. x = 7, y = 3
Add the equations: 2x = 14, so x = 7. Then 7 + y = 10, so y = 3.
9. 50 adult, 70 student
a + s = 120 and 8a + 5s = 750. Substitute s = 120 − a: 8a + 600 − 5a = 750, so 3a = 150, a = 50 and s = 70.
10. C(t) = 25 + 0.10t; t = 150
Set C(t) = 40: 25 + 0.10t = 40, so 0.10t = 15 and t = 150 texts.
Common Core standards in this test
| Standard | What it assesses | Questions |
|---|---|---|
| A-REI.B.3 | Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable | 1, 2, 3 |
| F-IF.A.2 | Use function notation and evaluate functions | 4 |

| A-REI.C.6 | Solve systems of linear equations | 7, 8 |
| A-CED.A.3 | Represent constraints with a system of equations | 9 |
Form A and Form B for retakes
Form B tests the same standard at the same difficulty with different numbers and contexts, so retakes and make-up tests stay fair without repeating Form A answers.

FAQ
Does every Algebra 1 test come with answers?
Yes. Every Algebra 1 test includes a separate step-by-step answer key showing the working for each question, not only the final answer.
Can I download the Algebra 1 test as a PDF?
Yes. The test and its answer key download as a print-ready PDF with proper algebraic notation, so you can print and hand it out without reformatting.
Can I make an Algebra 1 practice test instead of a graded test?
Yes. The same workflow produces practice tests for review, benchmark prep or end-of-course revision. Students can check their working against the step-by-step answers.
Can I use it for unit assessments and final exams?
Yes. Pick one topic for a chapter or unit assessment, or combine several Algebra 1 topics for a midterm or final exam.
Can I target one Algebra 1 topic only?
Yes. You can generate focused tests for linear equations, systems, quadratics or functions.
Can I generate A/B retake versions?
Yes. Equivalent A/B versions keep the same topic scope and difficulty, which suits retakes, make-up tests and parallel classes.
