Quick-Review Answer Key

1. Math: Solve for x

Problem: 3(x + 4) = 21
Solution Steps:

1. Distribute the 3: 3·x + 3·4 = 21 ⇒ 3x + 12 = 21
2. Subtract 12 from both sides: 3x + 12 – 12 = 21 – 12 ⇒ 3x = 9
3. Divide both sides by 3: x = 9 ÷ 3 = 3

Answer: x = 3

2. Math: Simplify the ratio

Problem: 18 : 24
Solution Steps:

1. Find the greatest common divisor of 18 and 24, which is 6.
2. Divide both terms by 6: (18 ÷ 6) : (24 ÷ 6) = 3 : 4

Answer: 3 : 4

3. Science: Role of producers in an ecosystem

Prompt: Describe the role of producers (plants) in an ecosystem. Give at least two details.
Key Points (any two of the following):

• Producers perform photosynthesis, converting sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (food) and oxygen.
• They form the base of the food chain, supplying energy to herbivores (primary consumers).
• They release oxygen into the atmosphere, which is essential for respiration by animals.
• They help cycle nutrients—when plants die, they decompose and return nutrients to the soil.

Sample Response:
“Producers use sunlight to make food through photosynthesis and give off oxygen. They are the first level in the food chain and provide energy for animals.”

4. ELA: Main idea and supporting details

Paragraph:
"Many students find group projects challenging at first, but working together teaches important collaboration skills. Each member brings unique strengths, and by dividing tasks, the group can produce stronger work than any individual might alone. Over time, students also build communication skills and learn to respect different perspectives."

Answer:

• Main Idea: Group projects teach valuable collaboration and communication skills.
• Supporting Detail 1: Dividing tasks allows the group to produce stronger work than one person alone.
• Supporting Detail 2: Students build communication skills and learn to respect different perspectives.

(Any equivalent main idea with two matching details earns full credit.)

5. Social Studies: Causes and effects of Roman Republic expansion

Prompt: List two causes and two effects of the Roman Republic’s expansion.

Sample Answers:

• Cause 1: Desire for more land and resources to support a growing population.
• Cause 2: Strong, disciplined military and a policy of securing borders to protect Rome from invasion.
• Effect 1: Increased wealth and influx of resources (gold, grain, slaves) into Rome.
• Effect 2: Spread of Roman culture, law, and language across conquered territories—and later political tension at home due to disparities in wealth.

(Award one point for each accurate cause or effect; accept other valid historical reasons.)
