This problem is testing to see if we can simplify this
expression using the correct order of operations.
Given expression:
14 – 4 * [2 + 3 * (8 – 5)] step 0
14 – 4 * [2 + 3 * 3] step 1, simplify (8 – 5)
14 – 4 * [2 + 9] step 2, simplify 3 * 3
14 – 4 * [11] step 3, simplify 2 + 9
14 – 44 step 4, simplify 4 * 11
-30 step 5, simplify 14 - 44
Correctly done, you simplify your expression to Choice C.
Let’s look at this sequence:
1st: 2
2nd: 2 + 1 -> 3
2rd: 3 + 3 -> 6
4th: 6 + 5 -> 11
5th: 11 + 7 -> 18
6th: 18 + 9 -> 27
7th: 27 + 11 -> 38
Choice A is the correct answer.
In this problem, we need to substitute the numbers for the
variables and simplify the expression:
x + 4y
x = 4
y = -5
4 + 4 * -5 = 4 – 20 = -16
The correct answer is Choice C.
We start with this equation:
-12x2 + 17x + 5 = y
If x = -2, then we find that
-12(-2)2 + 17(-2) + 5 = y
-12(4) + 17(-2) + 5 = y
-48 + -34 + 5 = y
-77 = y
The correct answer is Choice D.
The table provide gives some very important information.
The first hint is found in the second row, where we find the y-intercept.
At the y-intercept, when x=0, y=4.
From our choices, the only possible answers are equations with a y-intercept at y = 4.
Hey! Only one equation in our choices meets this requirement.
So, Choice C is the correct answer.
The first three terms of this series are:
(-7/4), (-10/4), (-13/4)
the next number is -4, we can also say that it is
(-16/4)
the next number is:
(-19/4)
The numerator adds -3 for each term. The denominator remains constant at 4.
It is safe to assume that Choice C is the correct answer.
Can you guess the next term?
This graph depicts an object gaining height with distance then losing height with distance.
Choice B is the only choice that makes sense.
NOTE: This is NOT a correct illustration of projectile motion. If you think this question is a little strange, you are right.
The problem states that the first minute is $1.25. Thus, Choices A and C are eliminated.
The problem also says that for each additional minute, the caller will be charge $0.75.
If the total number of minutes on the phone is some time m. Then the additional minutes, excluding the first minute will be some shorter time (m - 1).
Your only answer is Choice B.
In fact, Choice D is overcharging you
Method #1
Starting with the expression
2x(x2 + 3xy + 6y2)
We multiply out the expression
2x3 + 6x2y + 12xy2
Choice B is the correct answer.
Another way to look at this is eliminating the impossible answers.
Choices C and D are not possible because the first x term is multiplied by an x2 term yielding an x3 term as the first term of the expression.
Choice A is not possible because the last term must be an xy2 term.
The only correct answer is Choice B.
We start with
5x + (5/3)x ≤ -2x - (2/3)
Group like terms…
7x ≤ (-7/3)
Sovling for x
x ≤ (-1/3)
Choice B is the correct answer.
