What the test measures

Expressions and Equations skills

  1. Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers

  2. Apply properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions

  3. Use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving real-world or mathematical problems

Standards basis

Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for Mathematics — Kentucky

How the KSA reports it

Kentucky KSA is a state summative assessment built on Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) rather than a separate national framework. For mathematics, the assessed content closely follows Common Core–style grade-band domains in grades 3-8 and uses Kentucky high-school conceptual categories in grade 10.

Blueprint & weighting

KSA uses the Independent / state-specific framework (by grade domains structure).

Which expression is equivalent to 8+3z+28 + 3z + 2?

The constants 88 and 22 are like terms: 8+2=108 + 2 = 10. The term 3z3z stays the same, so the expression is equivalent to 3z+10.3z + 10\textsf{.}

Simplify: 6x82x7-6x - 8 - 2x - 7.

Combine: 6x+2x=8x-6x + -2x = -8x, 8+7=15-8 + -7 = -15. Result: 8x15-8x - 15.

Which expression is equivalent to 7+m2+27 + m^{2} + 2?

The constants 77 and 22 are like terms: 7+2=97 + 2 = 9. The term m2m^{2} stays the same, so the expression is equivalent to m2+9.m^{2} + 9\textsf{.}

Simplify: 2(4x3)2(4x - 3).

Distribute 2: 24x+23=8x62 \cdot 4x + 2 \cdot -3 = 8x - 6.

Which expression is equivalent to 3+w+83 + w + 8?

The constants 33 and 88 are like terms: 3+8=113 + 8 = 11. The term ww stays the same, so the expression is equivalent to w+11.w + 11\textsf{.}

Practice playeasy

Simplify: 3x10+5x+2-3x - 10 + 5x + 2.

Combine: 3x+5x=2x-3x + 5x = 2x, 10+2=8-10 + 2 = -8. Result: 2x82x - 8.

Practice playeasy

Which expression is equivalent to p+12+5p + 12 + 5?

The constants 1212 and 55 are like terms: 12+5=1712 + 5 = 17. The term pp stays the same, so the expression is equivalent to p+17.p + 17\textsf{.}

Practice playeasy

Simplify: 5(9x5)5(9x - 5).

Distribute 5: 59x+55=45x255 \cdot 9x + 5 \cdot -5 = 45x - 25.
