ALGEBRA 1 EXAM 2025 QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
Absolute value - ANS The distance between a real number and zero on a number line.
additive inverse - ANS The opposite of a number. When added together, the sum is zero.
algebraic expression - ANS A collection of numbers and variables with at least one arithmetic
operation.
associative property - ANS The grouping of terms within expressions involving addition or
multiplication does not change the value. Ex: (a+b) + c = a + (b+c)
axis of symmetry - ANS The line that divides a graph into two symmetrical parts.
base - ANS The repeated factor of a number written in exponential form.
binomial - ANS A two-term polynomial.
coefficient - ANS The numerical value of a term.
combine like terms - ANS Adding or subtracting terms that have the same variable(s) and
exponent(s).

, commutative property - ANS Changing the order of addition or multiplication does not
change the value. Ex: a+b+c = c+a+b
compound inequality - ANS Two inequalities combined in one statement by the word "and"
or "or".
consistent system - ANS A system of equations with at least one solution.
constant - ANS A term with no variables.
coordinate plane - ANS Formed by two number lines that cross each other at zero.
coordinates - ANS Ordered pairs that identify points on a plane.
denominator - ANS The lower half of a fraction.
dependent system - ANS A system of equations that has infinite solutions.
difference - ANS The answer to a subtraction problem.
difference of two squares - ANS A binomial whose terms are perfect squares being
subtracted.
direct variation - ANS An equation in the form y=kx, where k does not equal zero.
discriminant - ANS The expression inside the radical of the quadratic formula.
distributive property - ANS Used to clear parentheses by multiplying a term on the outside

by two or more terms inside the parentheses. Ex: a(b - c) = ab - ac
