SAT March 2022 – Math Mistake Explanations

🧮 Math – No Calculator
 Question 1

Correct answer: A. The question sets up a system of equations from a word problem. Total
votes are 401, and one candidate received 37 fewer than the other. The system is: b + c =
401 and b = c - 37.

 Question 4

Correct answer: A. Rearranging the formula to solve for h: multiply both sides by xy and
divide by g, yielding h = (xy)/g.

 Question 6

Correct answer: B. The graph has slope –1 and intercept (0,1), so the equation is f(x) = –x +
1.

 Question 9

Correct answer: B. Triangle congruence requires Side-Angle-Side. Angle-Angle is insufficient


without knowing the included side.

 Question 11

Correct answer: D. You must simplify a rational expression by factoring and reducing. The
final value does not match C.

 Question 19

Correct answer: A. Use volume ratio (cube root) to determine the side length of a smaller
similar figure. Result is 3 meters.

 Question 20

Correct answer: D. Solve quadratic: x² – 10x + 14 = 0. Discriminant = 100 – 56 = 44. √44 =


2√11, so n = 11.

 Question 3

Correct answer: B. BC = 2 × AB, so AC = AB + BC = AB + 2AB = 3AB. Equation is AC = 3AB.

 Question 4
Correct answer: C. Multiply rates and time from the table to find areas swept. Eric = 60,
Jeremy = 40. Difference = 20.

 Question 5

Correct answer: A. Multiply x⁴(3x² + 9x – 8) = 3x⁶ + 9x⁵ – 8x⁴.

 Question 6

Correct answer: C. Plug in x = 0 into f(x) = 2x – 4 → f(0) = –4. So y-intercept is (0, –4).

 Question 8

Correct answer: C. Add 60 to total values doesn’t affect median (since 60 is extreme), but
mean will increase.

 Question 10

Correct answer: B. Use the line of best fit for offline reading = 1.25 → estimated online =
~2.5 hours.

 Question 13

Correct answer: D. Total number of questions = 4r + 9. This best models the combined
questions answered.

 Question 24

Correct answer: A. DE ∥ HG provides enough info to use similar triangles via AA criteria.

 Question 26

Correct answer: B. Multiplier 1.25 corresponds to 25% increase.

 Question 32

Correct answer: C. Solve x + y = 10, x – y = 4 → Add equations to get 2x = 14 → x = 7. So 2x =


14.
