D is equivalent because brackets don’t change anything here
45+x=y 45 minutes to get ready plus x time spending getting dressed equals y (the total time to get ready for school)
In this item, we are to calculated for the 6th term of the geometric sequence given the initial value and the common ratio. This can be calculated through the equation,
An = (A₀)(r)ⁿ ⁻ ¹
where An is the nth term, A₀ is the first term (in this item is referred to as t₀), r is the common ratio, and n is the number of terms.
Substitute the known values to the equation,
An = (5)(-1/2)⁶ ⁻ ¹
An = -5/32
Hence, the answer to this item is the third choice, -5/32.
F(x) = x(x -1)
f(3) = 3*2 = 6
f(6) = 6*5 = 30
so f(f(3)) = 30 . . . . . selection A
2A)
C is correct.
2B) If x + 13 = 28, solve.

If x = 15 and x + 13 = 28, you can solve it two ways:
1. Plug x into 4x + 26 to get a perimeter of
86, or
2. Redo the equation:

3a. Since the 6z is negative, you want an expression the has 5z - (11z). Answers A and D have that in their answer.
But since the 13 is positive, you want the answer that subtracts the smaller number from the larger. Thus,
D is your answer since it subtracts 2 from 15.
3b) You think about this question the same way; 6z is positive, so the smaller number is being subtracted from the larger, meaning that 11z - 5z is what you look for. C and D are the two that have that, so now let's look at the second term.
The 13 is negative, so you want the answer that has 2 - 15. The answer that has that is
D.
Hope this helps :D
