There are also three categories in the Elementary Algebra Test. The first category, operations with integers and rational numbers, includes computation with integers and negative rationals, the use of absolute values and ordering. The second category is operations with algebraic expressions. It tests your skills in evaluating simple formulas and expressions, and in adding and subtracting monomials and polynomials. Both of these categories include questions about multiplying and dividing monomials and polynomials, evaluating positive rational roots and exponents, simplifying algebraic fractions, and factoring. The third category tests skills in solving equations, inequalities, and word problems. Questions range from solving systems of linear equations, solving quadratic equations by factoring, verbal problems presented in algebraic context, geometric reasoning, the translation of written phrases into algebraic expressions and graphing. You will be presented a total of 12 questions.
This test measures your ability to perform basic algebraic operations and to solve problems that involve elementary algebraic concepts.
Before you begin the actual test there will be a sample question with the correct answer indicated.
Solve the following problem. You may use the paper you have been given for scratch work.
2x + 3x + y =
6xy
5x + y
5(x + y)
6x + y
