Algebra I Midterm Exam
A free Algebra I lesson from the “Systems of Linear Equations and Inequalities” unit, with a worked example and practice problems including step-by-step solutions.
This 50-question assessment samples the first three units: foundations, functions and lines, and systems. It combines calculations, model interpretation, and error analysis. Questions are separate from the practice bank and final exam.
What you'll learn
- Solve unfamiliar questions across the listed units
- Use the result to identify topics for review
- Review written reasoning and other untested skills separately
Worked example
Problem. Worked example from Expressions and Properties: In 9x - 4, what is the coefficient of x?
- The coefficient is the number multiplying the variable.
- In 9x, the coefficient is 9.
- Connect the result back to Algebra I Midterm Exam so the method and meaning are both clear.
- Check the result against the original representation before writing the final answer.
Answer: 9

Practice problems
1. Algebra I Midterm Exam review case A from Expressions and Properties: In 9x - 4, what is the coefficient of x?
Choices: 9 · x · -4 · 5
Show solution
- The coefficient is the number multiplying the variable.
- In 9x, the coefficient is 9.
Answer: 9
2. Algebra I Midterm Exam review case B from Expressions and Properties: Simplify 4x + 7x.
Show solution
- Both terms are like terms.
