New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Mathematics (NJSLS-M), aligned to Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M) — New Jersey
Work with radicals and integer exponents; understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations; analyze and solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations. This Grade 8 reporting domain maps to 10 practice skills and 8 representative questions from the playable bank.
New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Mathematics (NJSLS-M), aligned to Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M) — New Jersey
NJSLA math is built on the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Mathematics, which closely follow the Common Core domain structure and progressions. The assessment is organized by grade-level and end-of-course reporting aligned to those standards rather than by a separate proprietary framework.
NJDOE publishes statewide assessment administration information and grade/course coverage, but no official public math-domain weighting blueprint was located in the retrieved primary materials.

Simplify: .
The Power of a Power Property says that a power raised to another power is simplified by multiplying the exponents, written Here is raised to the second power, so
Let . Which of the following approximations, written as with one significant digit, is closest to the value of ?
Substitute : . Since , .
Which of the following systems has no solution?
Both equations have slope but different -intercepts ( and ), so the lines are parallel and the system has no solution.
How many solutions does the given system of equations have?
Rewrite in slope-intercept form: and . The slopes and are different, so the lines intersect at exactly one point.
Solve for : .
Subtract from both sides: . Add to both sides: . Divide by :
is how many times as large as ?
.
Divide coefficients and subtract exponents: and , giving . Rewrite as
If , which expression is equal to ?
Subtract from both sides: . So .
