Foundational Math Concepts to help in preparation for the High School SAT (SHSAT)
| Front | What is 8 + (-5)?A) 13B) 3C) -3D) -13 |
| Back | B) 3When adding a positive and negative integer, subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger: |8| = 8, |-5| = 5, so 8 - 5 = 3. Since 8 has the larger absolute value and is positive, the result is positive. |
| Front | Which number is divisible by 5?A) 234B) 347C) 455D) 598 |
| Back | C) 455A number is divisible by 5 if it ends in 0 or 5. 455 ends in 5, so it's divisible by 5. |
| Front | Solve for x: 2(x - 3) + 4 = 10A) x = 1B) x = 3C) x = 4D) x = 6 |
| Back | D) x = 6Step 1: Apply the distributive property2x - 6 + 4 = 102x - 2 = 10Step 2: Add 2 to both sides2x - 2 + 2 = 10 + 22x = 12Step 3: Divide both sides by 22x ÷ 2 = 12 ÷ 2x = 6 |
