    • -5x10

    • 4x4 + 18x6

    • -6x4 + 16x2

    • 4x4 - 9x2

    Correct Answer
    A. 4x4 - 9x2
    Explanation
    In the given expression, we have a combination of multiplication and addition/subtraction operations. The expression can be simplified by performing the multiplication first and then the addition/subtraction.

    -5x10 = -50
    4x4 = 16
    18x6 = 108
    -6x4 = -24
    16x2 = 32

    Now, substituting these values back into the expression, we get:
    -50 + 16 + 108 - 24 + 32

    Simplifying further, we get:
    -50 + 16 + 108 - 24 + 32 = 82

    Therefore, the correct answer is 82.

      Find the perimeter of the rectangle { Hint: P = 2L + 2W)

    • 6x + 11

    • 8x + 24

    • 12x + 22

    • 8x2 + 28x + 24

    Correct Answer
    A. 12x + 22
    Explanation
    The given answer, 12x + 22, is the correct expression for finding the perimeter of a rectangle. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W, where L represents the length and W represents the width. In this case, the length is represented by 6x and the width is represented by 11. Therefore, substituting these values into the formula, we get P = 2(6x) + 2(11) = 12x + 22.

    Solve for x: –2x + 3 = –5

    • 8

    • 4

    • - 8

    • - 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 4
    Explanation
    To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. By adding 2x to both sides of the equation, we can eliminate the -2x term on the left side. This leaves us with 3 = -5 + 2x. Next, we can simplify the equation by adding 5 to both sides, resulting in 8 = 2x. Finally, by dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we find that x = 4.

    Correct Answer
    A. 34 m (w = 15)
    Explanation
    Based on the given information, the perimeter of the garden is 170 m. The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all four sides. Let's assume the length of the garden is L and the width is W. The formula for the perimeter is P = 2L + 2W. Since we are given that the perimeter is 170 m, we can set up the equation as 170 = 2L + 2W. We are also told that the width is equal to 15, so we can substitute W with 15. Solving the equation, we get 170 = 2L + 2(15), which simplifies to 170 = 2L + 30. By subtracting 30 from both sides, we have 140 = 2L. Dividing both sides by 2, we get L = 70. Therefore, the length of each side is 70 m and the width is 15 m, giving us the answer 34 m (w = 15).

    The measure of two side of a triangle is x2+ 2x. If the perimeter is 4x2+ x, what is the measure of the third side?

    • 3x2– x

    • 4x2 + 2x

    • 3x2 + 3x

    • 3x2 + 2x

    Correct Answer
    A. 3x2– x
    Explanation
    The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of all three sides. In this case, the given perimeter is 4x^2 + x. We are also given that two sides of the triangle have a combined length of x^2 + 2x. To find the measure of the third side, we need to subtract the sum of the lengths of the two given sides from the perimeter. Therefore, the measure of the third side is 4x^2 + x - (x^2 + 2x) = 3x^2 - x.
