If $2$ is a solution (root) of $x^3+hx+10=0,$ then $h$ equals:

It takes $5$ seconds for a clock to strike $6$ o’clock beginning at $6{:}00$ o’clock precisely. If the strikings are uniformly spaced, how long, in seconds, does it take to strike $12$ o’clock?

Applied to a bill for $\$10{,}000$ the difference between a discount of $40\%$ and two successive discounts of $36\%$ and $4\%,$ expressed in dollars, is:

Each of two angles of a triangle is $60^\circ$ and the included side is $4$ inches. The area of the triangle, in square inches, is:

The number of distinct points common to the graphs of $x^2+y^2=9$ and $y^2=9$ is:

The circumference of a circle is $100$ inches. The side of a square inscribed in this circle, expressed in inches, is:

Circle I passes through the center of, and is tangent to, circle II. The area of circle I is $4$ square inches. Then the area of circle II, in square inches, is:

The number $2.5252525\ldots$ can be written as a fraction. When reduced to lowest terms the sum of the numerator and denominator of this fraction is:

The fraction $$
\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2+2ab}{a^2+c^2-b^2+2ac}
$$ is (with suitable restrictions on the values of $a,$ $b,$ and $c$):
