Georgia Standards of Excellence (state-adopted content standards) — Georgia

How the Georgia Milestones reports it

Georgia Milestones is Georgia’s own statewide assessment system, aligned to Georgia’s state-adopted content standards rather than a shared national test framework. The official page says it measures knowledge and skills in the state-adopted standards for mathematics across grades 3 through high school ([Georgia Department of Education](https://gadoe.org/assessment-accountability/georgia-milestones/)).

$|x - 25| = 40$

Which of the following gives both solutions to the given equation?

The equation means $x - 25 = 40$ or $x - 25 = -40$ . So $x = 65$ or $x = -15$ . Both solutions are $-15$ and $65\textsf{.}$

If $|3x - 9| = 24$ , what is the negative value of $x - 3$ ?

Factor: $|3x - 9| = |3(x - 3)| = |3|\,|x - 3| = 3|x - 3|$ . Since $3|x - 3| = 24$ , divide by $3$ to get $|x - 3| = 8$ . The values of $x - 3$ are $8$ and $-8$ ; the negative value is $-8\textsf{.}$

How many distinct real roots does $x^{2} - 6x + 9 = 0$ have?

Here $a = 1$ , $b = -6$ , and $c = 9$ . Substituting into $b^{2} - 4ac$ gives $(-6)^{2} - 4(1)(9) = 0\textsf{,}$ so there is exactly $1$ distinct real root.

Solve using the quadratic formula: $x^{2} + 4x + 1 = 0$ .

Here $a = 1$ , $b = 4$ , and $c = 1$ . Substituting into the quadratic formula gives $x = \dfrac{-4 \pm \sqrt{4^{2} - 4(1)(1)}}{2(1)} = \dfrac{-4 \pm \sqrt{12}}{2} = -2 \pm \sqrt{3}$ .

If $2x + 6 = 26$ , what is the value of $15 - x$ ?

Subtract $6$ from both sides: $2x = 20$ , so $x = 10$ . Then $15 - x = 15 - 10 = 5\textsf{.}$

Solve for $x$ : $2x + 1 \le 9$ . The solution is $x \le k$ . What is the value of $k$ ?

Subtract 1: $2x \le 8$ . Divide by 2: $x \le 4$ , so $k = 4$ .

$\begin{cases} 2x - y \ge 4 \\ x + y \le 7 \end{cases}$
The point $(x, y)$ is a solution to the system of inequalities in the coordinate plane. If $y = 2$ , which of the following could be a value of $x$ ?

Substitute $y = 2$ . From $2x - y \ge 4$ , $2x - 2 \ge 4$ , so $x \ge 3$ . From $x + y \le 7$ , $x \le 5$ . The value $x = 4$ satisfies $3 \le 4 \le 5$ .

$f$ is defined by $f(x)=-x+5$ , and $g$ is defined by $g(x)=x^{2}-3x+5$ . Which point is an intersection of the graphs of $f$ and $g$ ?

Set $f(x)=g(x)$ : $-x+5=x^{2}-3x+5$ , so $0=x^{2}-2x$ . Then $x(x-2)=0$ , and $x=0$ or $x=2$ . For $x=2$ , $f(2)=3$ , so one intersection point is $(2,3)\textsf{.}$
