Difference means subtract so we can reduce the choices right away to first and third choices. of the only the first is the difference of squares, namely x² - 4²
12) LCM of 2 & 12 is 12
Answer: (F)
13) (25 x 8) x 4
Step 1: Order of operations do parenthesis first: (25 x 8) = 200
Step 2: Multiply: 200 x 4 = 800
Answer: 800
14) I would plug each value in to see which works
D) 10x + 5y = 10(6) + 5(9) = 60 + 45 = 105
Answer is (D)
15) 2 x 12 - 8 (divided by) 2^2
Exponent first: 2 x 12 - 8 divided by 4
Multiplication/ Division: 2 x 12 = 24 and -8 divided by 4 = -2
Add/Subtract: 24 - 2 = 22
Answer: (I)
Answer:
y = 91
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 5² + 10(5) + 16
y = 25 + 50 + 16
y = 91
I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.
Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.
Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.
One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.
Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.
So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:
y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?
