NY State Math Algebra I Algebra. Practice it free.

Per the NYSED Algebra I Educator Guide blueprint, the Algebra conceptual category is 48%–61% of credit and includes the domains Seeing Structure in Expressions (A-SSE), Arithmetic with Polynomials and Rational Expressions (A-APR), Creating Equations (A-CED), and Reasoning with Equations and Inequalities (A-REI). This Algebra I reporting domain maps to 46 practice skills and 8 representative questions from the playable bank.

How the NY State Math reports it

New York’s Grades 3–8 math tests and Regents math exams are state-developed assessments rather than a shared national framework. The grades 3–8 exams are aligned to New York State learning standards, and the Regents math sequence includes Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II, with the June 2026 Algebra II exam explicitly based on the New York State Next Generation Learning Standards.

Blueprint & weighting

Grades 3–8: the official page and the retrieved administration guide describe item/credit structure and timing, but no published domain-by-domain blueprint weighting was located in the primary sources used here. Regents (high school): NYSED publishes a per-conceptual-category 'percent of test by credit' blueprint for each course in its Educator Guides. Algebra I — Number & Quantity 4%–10%, Algebra 48%–61%, Functions 24%–32%, Statistics & Probability 7%–15%. Geometry (single conceptual category, by domain) — Congruence (G-CO) 27%–34%, Similarity, Right Triangles, & Trigonometry (G-SRT) 29%–37%, Circles (G-C) 2%–8%, Expressing Geometric Properties with Equations (G-GPE) 12%–18%, Geometric Measurement & Dimensions (G-GMD) 2%–8%, Modeling with Geometry (G-MG) 8%–15%. Algebra II — Number & Quantity 4%–8%, Algebra 30%–39%, Functions 38%–45%, Statistics & Probability 14%–22%.

Which expression is equivalent to x26x+8x^2 - 6x + 8?

Find two numbers with product 88 and sum 6-6: 2-2 and 4-4. So x26x+8=(x2)(x4)x^2 - 6x + 8 = (x-2)(x-4).

What are all and only the zeros of the polynomial defined by p(x)=x3+4x2+4xp(x)=x^3+4x^2+4x?

Factor out xx: p(x)=x(x2+4x+4)=x(x+2)2p(x)=x(x^2+4x+4)=x(x+2)^2. Set each factor equal to zero: x=0x=0x=0 \Rightarrow x=0; (x+2)2=0(x+2)^2=0, so (x+2)=0x=2(x+2)=0 \Rightarrow x=-2. The zero 2-2 has multiplicity 22, so the zeros are 00, 2-2, and 2-2.

If 4x3yx+y=25\dfrac{4x - 3y}{x + y} = \dfrac{2}{5}, then xy=\dfrac{x}{y}=

Cross-multiply to clear the fraction: 5(4x3y)=2(x+y)5(4x - 3y) = 2(x + y), so 20x15y=2x+2y20x - 15y = 2x + 2y. Collect like terms to get 18x=17y18x = 17y. Divide both sides by yy, then by 1818, to obtain xy=1718.\dfrac{x}{y} = \dfrac{17}{18}\textsf{.}

If x2+6x+9x+3=4\dfrac{x^{2} + 6x + 9}{x + 3} = 4 and x3,x \neq -3\textsf{,} what is the value of x?x\textsf{?}

Factor the numerator as a perfect square: x2+6x+9=(x+3)2x^{2} + 6x + 9 = (x+3)^{2}. For x3x \neq -3, one factor of x+3x+3 cancels, giving x+3=4x+3 = 4, so x=1.x = 1\textsf{.}

{yx+10y>x1\begin{cases} y \le -x + 10 \\ y > x - 1 \end{cases}
The point
(x,y)(x, y) is a solution to the system of inequalities in the coordinate plane. If x=4x = 4, which of the following could be a value of yy?

Substitute x=4x = 4. From yx+10y \le -x + 10, y6y \le 6. From y>x1y > x - 1, y>3y > 3. The value y=5y = 5 satisfies 3<563 < 5 \le 6.

Which is the completely factored form of 16x3+24x28x16x^{3} + 24x^{2} - 8x?

The greatest common factor of 16x316x^{3}, 24x224x^{2}, and 8x8x is 8x.8x\textsf{.} Factoring gives 8x(2x2+3x1)8x(2x^{2} + 3x - 1).

Which expression is equivalent to 25x23625x^{2} - 36?

25x236=(5x)262=(5x6)(5x+6)25x^{2} - 36 = (5x)^{2} - 6^{2} = (5x - 6)(5x + 6).
