Seriously basic arithmetic, with the simplest possible simultaneous equations. This is grade 8 math (13 year olds) at best. Even the sum of squares polynomial was pre-factored. I helped a relative study for her gcse math test years ago, I couldn't believe how rudimentary it was.

Where I live the local high school math courses have become so degraded the community colleges won't accept them as prerequisites for calculus any more. An A in math 12 places a student at the beginning of a 3 course algebra/trig/precalc sequence.

My step sister was able to pass math 12 by doing a project about 5 years ago.
