Each week, Rosario drives to an ice-skating rink that is 60 miles away. The round-trip takes 2.75 hours. If he averages 55 miles per hour on his way to the rink, which equation can be used to find x, the number of miles per hour he averages on his way home?

A
StartFraction 60 Over 55 EndFraction + StartFraction 60 Over x EndFraction = 2.75
Option A
B
StartFraction 60 Over 55 EndFraction times StartFraction 60 Over x EndFraction = 2.75
Option B
C
60 (55) + 60 x = 2.75
Option C
D
60 (55) times 60 x = 2.75
Option D
5

Which equation, when solved, results in a different value of x than the other three?

A
8.3 = negative 0.6 x + 11.3
Option A
B
11.3 = 8.3 + 0.6 x
Option B
C
11.3 minus 0.6 x = 8.3
Option C
D
8.3 minus 0.6 x = 11.3
Option D
7

What is another way to write the equation ?

Question illustration
A
7 (StartFraction x over 8 EndFraction) + three-fourths = negative 6
Option A
B
StartFraction 7 + 3 over 8 + 4 EndFraction x = negative 6
Option B
C
StartFraction 7 over 8 EndFraction + three-fourths x = negative 6
Option C
D
StartFraction 7 over 8 EndFraction x minus three-fourths = 6
Option D
8

When solving the equation, which is the best first step to begin to simplify the equation?

Question illustration
A
(negative 2) (Negative 2) (x + 3) = negative 10 (negative 2)
Option A
B
Negative one-half (negative 2) (x + 3) = negative 10 (negative one-half)
Option B
C
StartFraction negative 2 over 2 EndFraction (x + 3) = StartFraction negative 10 over 2 EndFraction
Option C
D
StartFraction negative 2 over negative 10 EndFraction (x + 3) = StartFraction negative 10 over negative 10 EndFraction
Option D
10

Which method correctly solves the equation using the distributive property?

Question illustration
A
Negative 0.2 (x minus 4) = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x minus 4 = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x = 2.3. x = negative 11.5.
Option A
B
Negative 0.2 (x minus 4) = negative 1.7. x minus 4 = 0.34. x = 4.34.
Option B
C
Negative 0.2 (x minus 4) = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x + 0.8 = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x = negative 2.5. x = 12.5.
Option C
D
Negative 0.2 (x minus 4) = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x minus 0.8 = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x = negative 0.9. x = 4.5.
Option D
11

Meryl needs to add enough water to 11 gallons of an 18% detergent solution to make a 12% detergent solution. Which equation can she use to find g, the number of gallons of water she should add? Original(Gallons)Added(Gallons)New(Gallons)Amount of Detergent1.980 Amount of Solution11g

A
StartFraction 1.98 Over 11 + g EndFraction minus StartFraction 12 Over 100 EndFraction = 1
Option A
B
StartFraction 1.98 Over 11 + g EndFraction + StartFraction 12 Over 100 EndFraction = 1
Option B
C
StartFraction 11 + g Over 1.98 EndFraction = StartFraction 12 Over 100 EndFraction
Option C
D
StartFraction 1.98 Over 11 + g EndFraction = StartFraction 12 Over 100 EndFraction
Option D
13

Carlon plans to evaporate a number of gallons of water from 90 gallons of a 15% salt solution to make a 25% salt solution. Which equation can he use to find x, the number of gallons that should be evaporated? Original (Gallons)Removed (Gallons)New (Gallons)Amount of Salt13.5 0 Amount of Solution90 x

A
StartFraction 13.5 Over 90 minus x EndFraction = StartFraction 25 Over 100 EndFraction
Option A
B
StartFraction 13.5 Over x EndFraction = StartFraction 25 Over 100 EndFraction
Option B
C
13.5 (90 minus x) = 0.25
Option C
D
13.5 (90 minus x) = 25
Option D
20
