8. Right triangle legs are 6 and 8. Find hypotenuse.

Hard

9. Solve: 2(3x - 5) = 4x + 18

Hard

10. A line has slope -2 and passes through (4,7). Find intercept form.

Answer key preview

1. x = 12

Subtract 7 from both sides.

2. 11

f(3) = 2(3) + 5 = 11.

3. 2

(6 - 2)/(3 - 1) = 4/2 = 2.

4. 6x - 12

Distribute 3 to both terms.

Skills assessed

  • Linear equation solving and graph interpretation
  • Function notation and slope meaning
  • System solving and reasoning about intersections
  • Pythagorean theorem applications
  • Scientific notation and numerical reasoning

Common student mistakes

  • Confusing slope with y-intercept
  • Using additive patterns for multiplicative function rules
  • Sign errors while combining like terms
  • Forgetting to square both legs in Pythagorean work
  • Misreading scientific notation exponents

When to use this test

Use Grade 8 tests for pre-Algebra readiness checks, end-of-unit review, and mid-year benchmark cycles. Because the test is short and balanced, it fits both class periods and intervention blocks.

For retakes and make-up exams, generate A/B versions to keep domain alignment while reducing direct item overlap.
