- A.
36
- B.
360
- C.
.36
- D.
3.6
Correct Answer
A. 36Explanation

Combine the like terms
- A.
8x - y + 13xy + 9
- B.
8x + y - 13xy + 9
- C.
8x - y - 13xy + 9
- D.
8x -7y - 3xy + 9
Correct Answer
C. 8x - y - 13xy + 9Explanation
The given expression is 8x - y + 13xy + 9. To combine like terms, we add or subtract the coefficients of the same variables. In this expression, the like terms are 8x and -13xy, as they both have the variable x. The coefficient of x in 8x is 8, and in -13xy it is -13. Therefore, when we combine these like terms, we get 8x - 13xy. The remaining terms -y and 9 do not have any like terms to combine with. Hence, the final expression after combining like terms is 8x - y - 13xy + 9.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. -1Explanation
The given expression can be simplified as follows: 1 - 1 + 5/3 - 1/4. The first two terms cancel each other out (1 - 1 = 0). Then, we can find a common denominator for the remaining terms, which is 12. So, the expression becomes (20/12 - 3/12) = 17/12. Simplifying further, we get 1 and 5/12. However, the given answer is -1, which does not match the calculated value. Therefore, the given answer is incorrect.Rate this question:

X > -12
- B.
X < -12
- C.
X > -7
- D.
X < -7
Correct Answer
D. X < -7Explanation
The given set of inequalities states that x is greater than -12 and x is also less than -12. However, this is not possible as a number cannot be simultaneously greater than and less than -12. Therefore, the correct answer is x < -7, which means that x is less than -7.Rate this question:

Write an algebraic expression for the following: Triple a quantity increased by ten.
- A.
X + 10
- B.
3x + 10
- C.
3(x + 10)
- D.
3x + 30
Correct Answer
B. 3x + 10Explanation
The expression "Triple a quantity increased by ten" means that we need to multiply a quantity by 3 and then add 10 to it. The expression that represents this is 3(x + 10), where x is the quantity. This expression simplifies to 3x + 30, which means that the quantity is tripled and then 10 is added to it. Therefore, the correct answer is 3x + 30.Rate this question:

On-Demand Movies Joseph just changed his cable television plan to include on-demand movies for $2.95 each. The charge for the basic cable package is $24.95 per month. If his bill one month was $39.70, how many on-demand movies did he watch?
- A.
44
- B.
8
- C.
5
- D.
31
Correct Answer
C. 5Explanation
To find the number of on-demand movies Joseph watched, we need to subtract the cost of the basic cable package from his total bill. His bill was $39.70 and the basic cable package cost $24.95, so the remaining amount ($39.70 - $24.95 = $14.75) must be the cost of the on-demand movies. Since each on-demand movie costs $2.95, we can divide the remaining amount by the cost per movie to find the number of movies watched ($14.75 / $2.95 = 5). Therefore, Joseph watched 5 on-demand movies.Rate this question:

Factor the Greatest Common Factor:
- A.
5x^2 (5x - 7xy)
- B.
5x^2 (2x - 7y)
- C.
5x (2x^2 - 7xy)
- D.
5x^2y (2x - 7)
Correct Answer
B. 5x^2 (2x - 7y)Explanation
The given expression can be factored by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of all the terms. The GCF of 5x^2 and 5x^2 (2x - 7y) is 5x^2. Therefore, factoring out the GCF from the expression gives 5x^2 (2x - 7y).Rate this question:

Factor the trinomial:
- A.
(y - 5)(y + 7)
- B.
(y - 5)(y - 7)
- C.
(y - 2)(y + 1)
- D.
(y + 5)(y - 7)
Correct Answer
D. (y + 5)(y - 7)Explanation
The given trinomial can be factored as (y + 5)(y - 7) by using the FOIL method. The First terms are y multiplied by y, which gives y^2. The Outer terms are y multiplied by -7, which gives -7y. The Inner terms are -5 multiplied by y, which gives -5y. And the Last terms are -5 multiplied by -7, which gives +35. Combining like terms, we get y^2 - 7y - 5y + 35, which simplifies to y^2 - 12y + 35. Therefore, the correct answer is (y + 5)(y - 7).Rate this question:

- C.
(2x + 3)(2x - 3)
- D.
(4x + y)(x - 9)
Correct Answer
B. (2x + 3y)(2x - 3y)Explanation
The given expression can be factored using the difference of two squares formula, which states that for any two terms a and b, (a^2 - b^2) can be factored as (a + b)(a - b). In this case, the terms are 2x and 3y, so the expression (2x + 3y)(2x - 3y) is the correct factorization.Rate this question:

- B.
(2x + 1)(x - 7)
- C.
(x + 14)(x - 1)
- D.
2(x - 7)(x + 1)
Correct Answer
A. (2x - 1)(x + 7)Explanation
The given expression can be factored using the slide and divide method. By multiplying the first terms of both binomials (2x and x), we get 2x^2. By multiplying the outer terms (-1 and x), we get -x. By multiplying the inner terms (2x and 7), we get 14x. Finally, by multiplying the last terms (-1 and 7), we get -7. Combining these terms, we get 2x^2 - x + 14x - 7, which simplifies to 2x^2 + 13x - 7. Therefore, the correct answer is (2x - 1)(x + 7).Rate this question:

Exchange Rates Robyn spent two months traveling in New Zealand. The day she arrived the exchange rate was 1.4 New Zealand dollars per every 1 U.S. dollar. If she exchanged $500 U.S. dollars when she arrived, how much in New Zealand dollars did she receive?
- A.
$384.62
- B.
$650
- C.
$700
- D.
$822.15
Correct Answer
C. $700Explanation
Robyn exchanged $500 U.S. dollars when she arrived in New Zealand. The exchange rate was 1.4 New Zealand dollars per every 1 U.S. dollar. To find out how much she received in New Zealand dollars, we can multiply the amount she exchanged ($500) by the exchange rate (1.4). This gives us $700, which is the amount she received in New Zealand dollars.Rate this question:

Solve for x and y using substitution: x = 18 - 3y 2x + y = 11
- A.
X = 5, y = 3
- B.
X = 3, y = 5
- C.
X = 33, y = -5
- D.
X = 7, y = -3
Correct Answer
B. X = 3, y = 5Explanation
To solve for x and y using substitution, we first solve the first equation for x in terms of y: x = 18 - 3y. Then, we substitute this expression for x into the second equation: 2(18 - 3y) + y = 11. Simplifying this equation, we get 36 - 6y + y = 11. Combining like terms, we have -5y = -25. Dividing both sides by -5, we find that y = 5. Substituting this value back into the first equation, we can solve for x: x = 18 - 3(5) = 18 - 15 = 3. Therefore, the solution is x = 3, y = 5.Rate this question:

- C.
X = 2, y = 1
- D.
X = 1, y = -2
Correct Answer
C. X = 2, y = 1Explanation
The given system of equations can be solved using the addition method. By multiplying the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 2, we can eliminate the y variable when we add the two equations together. This results in the equation 12x + 6y = 30. When we subtract this equation from the original second equation, 2x + 3y = 7, we get -10x = -23. Solving for x, we find that x = 2. Substituting this value back into the first equation, we can solve for y and find that y = 1. Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 2 and y = 1.Rate this question:

- A.
5
- B.
2
- C.
3.5
- D.
1
Correct Answer
B. 2Explanation
To find the value of y that completes the ordered pair (1, ?) as a solution to the equation 2x + 5y = 12, we substitute x=1 into the equation. Plugging in x=1, we get 2(1) + 5y = 12. Simplifying this equation gives us 2 + 5y = 12. By subtracting 2 from both sides, we obtain 5y = 10. Dividing both sides by 5, we find that y = 2.

Correct Answer
C. -7/3Explanation
The slope of a line passing through two points can be found using the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). In this case, the coordinates of the two points are (2, -3) and (-1, 4). Plugging these values into the formula, we get (-3 - 4) / (2 - (-1)) = -7 / 3. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through these points is -7/3.Rate this question:
