8. Question # 6
The sum of three consecutive integers is 54.
Find the smallest integer
D. 19
A. 9 C. 17
B. 16
C. 17
𝑥 + (𝑥 + 1) + (𝑥 + 2) = 54
𝒙 = 𝟏𝟕
𝑥 + (𝑥 + 1) + (𝑥 + 2) = 54
Combine like terms to simplify the equation:
3𝑥 + 3 = 54
Subtract 3 from both sides:
3𝑥 = 51
Divide both sides by 3:
𝒙 = 𝟏𝟕

Now, divide both sides by 4 to solve for
𝑃:
𝑃 =
1984
4
𝑷 = 𝟒𝟗𝟔
11. Question # 9

perimeter of the triangle is 96 cm. Find the length of
the longest side of the triangle.
D. 36
A. 28 C. 33
B. 32
C. 33
𝑥 + (𝑥 + 1) + (𝑥 + 2) = 96
𝑥 + 1 = 32
𝒙 + 𝟐 = 𝟑𝟑
𝑥 + (𝑥 + 1) + (𝑥 + 2) = 96
Combine like terms:
3𝑥 + 3 = 96
Subtract 3 from both sides:
3𝑥 = 93
Divide by 3:
𝑥 = 31
Therefore, the sides of the triangle are:
𝑥 = 31
𝑥 + 1 = 32
𝒙 + 𝟐 = 𝟑𝟑
12. Question # 10
The length of a rectangle is 8 meters more than twice
its width. The perimeter is 112 meters. Find its area.
D.
A. C.
B.
D.
𝑙 = 2𝑤 + 8
𝑃 = 2𝑙 + 2𝑤 = 112
𝑙 = 2(16) + 8
𝑙 = 40
𝑙 = 2𝑤 + 8
𝑃 = 2𝑙 + 2𝑤 = 112
By substitution:
2 2𝑤 + 8 + 2𝑤 = 112
4𝑤 + 16 + 2𝑤 = 112
6𝑤 = 112 − 16
6𝑤 = 96
𝑤 =
96
6
𝑤 = 16
𝑙 = 2(16) + 8
𝑙 = 40
To find the area:
𝐴 = 𝑙𝑤
𝐴 = 40 16
𝑨 = 𝟔𝟒𝟎 𝒎𝟐

15. Question # 13
The difference between 8 times a number
and 17 is 231. Find the number
D. 1984
A. 31 C. 48
B. 37
A. 31
8𝑥 − 17 = 231
8
=
8
𝑥 = 31
8𝑥 − 17 = 231
Solve for x:
Add 17 to both sides of the equation:
8𝑥 = 231 + 17
8𝑥 = 248
Divide both sides by 8:
8𝑥
8
=
248
8
𝑥 = 31

A. Php 1299.50 C. Php 1310.50
B. Php 1289.50
D. Php 1409.50
𝐵 − (3 × 30) = 1,319.50
𝐵 = 1,319.50 + 90
𝑩 = 𝟏, 𝟒𝟎𝟗. 𝟓𝟎
𝐵 − (3 × 30) = 1,319.50
Simplify and Solve the Equation:
Calculate the product:
3 × 30 = 90
Substitute into the equation:
𝐵 − 90 = 1,319.50
Add 90 to both sides to solve for B:
𝐵 = 1,319.50 + 90
𝑩 = 𝟏, 𝟒𝟎𝟗. 𝟓𝟎

In 4 years, he will be twice as old as Flor. How
old is Mark now?
D. 52 y.o
A. 20 y.o C. 36 y.o
B. 26 y.o
B. 26 y.o 𝑀 = 2𝐹 + 4
𝑴 = 𝟐 𝟏𝟏 + 𝟒 = 𝟐𝟔 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒍𝒅
Let M be Mark’s current age and F be Flor’s current age
Age six years ago:
𝑀 − 6 = 4 𝐹 − 6 → 𝑀 = 4𝐹 − 18
Age in four years:
𝑀 + 4 = 2 𝐹 + 4 → 𝑀 = 2𝐹 + 4
Equate the two:
4𝐹 − 18 = 2𝐹 + 4
2𝐹 = 22
𝐹 = 11
Therefore, Mark’s age is:
𝑀 = 2𝐹 + 4
𝑴 = 𝟐 𝟏𝟏 + 𝟒 = 𝟐𝟔 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒍𝒅
