🟢 Easy SAT-Style Math Questions
Question 1
Solve for
:
x + 9 = 21
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation: Subtract 9 from both sides: x = 21 – 9 = 12
Question 2
If 4x = 28, what is the value of x?
Correct Answer: 7
Explanation: Divide both sides by 4: x = 28/4 = 7
💡 Digital SAT Tip: Simple one-step equations often appear early in Module 1. Solve quickly to save time.
Question 3
What is the value of
if:
y – 5 = 10
Correct Answer: 15
Explanation: Add 5 to both sides: y = 15

Question 4
Solve:
2 (x-3)=4x-10
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation: Expand both sides: 2x-6=4x-10
Subtract
from both sides: -6=2x-10
Add 10: 4=2x Divide by 2: x-2
Question 5
If 3x+4=19, what is the value of x?
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation: Subtract 4: 3x=15 Divide by 3: x=5
Question 6
The sum of two consecutive integers is 41. What is the smaller integer?
Correct Answer: 20
Explanation: Let the smaller number be n. The next integer is n+1.
n+(n+1)=41
2n+1=41
2n=40
n=20
💡 Digital SAT Tip: Word problems often test your ability to translate words into equations accurately.
🔴 Hard SAT-Style Math Questions
Question 7
Solve the system of equations:
x+y=10
2x-y=4
Correct Answer: x=4, y=6
Explanation: Add both equations: (x+y)+(2x-y)=10+4
3x=14
x=4
Substitute into : x+y=10: 4+y=10
y=6
Question 8
If x2-9=0 , what are the possible values of x?
Correct Answer: x=3 or x= -3
Explanation: Factor: (x-3)(x+3)=0 Set each factor equal to zero.
Question 9
A rectangle has a perimeter of 54 units. If the length is twice the width, what is the width?
Correct Answer: 9 units
Explanation: Let width = w, length = 2w. Perimeter formula: 2(l+w)=54
2(2w+w)=54
6w=54
w=9
💡 Digital SAT Tip: Geometry questions often combine algebra with formulas—set up equations carefully.
