If x represents the width of a rectangle and length is six less than two times the width, which of the following expressions represents the length of the rectangle in terms of x?
2x-6
6-2x
6x-2
3x-4
Correct Answer : A
To form an equation from the word problem, first break the given statement into smaller statements.
First, we are given the width of the rectangle as x. We are told, the length is two times width. Mathematically, this means
Length=2*width=2*x=2x
Now, the length is 6 less than 2 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:
Length =2x-6
Thus, the length of the rectangle is 2x-6.

Explanation
correlations fall into positive, negative, and no correlation. A positive correlation shows that an increase in one variable increase results in an increase on the other variable increases as shown.

A negative correlation scatter plot shows that an increase in one variable results in a decrease on the other one.

The no-correlation scatter plot demonstrates that there is no response between variables. A change in one variable has no effect on the other variable.

Looking at the provided scatter plot, the heights of the students does not have any relationship on the students’ scores. Thus, the type of correlation is no correlation.

Explanation
Before we compare the values of the options, we convert the decimals to fractions.
5.4 becomes 54/10
6.25 becomes 625/100
Thus, the set of fractions is 11/2, 54/10, 13/3, 625/100. The least common denominator for 2, 10, 3, and 100 is 300, which we use to compare each options given.
11/2*300=1650
54/10*300=1620
13/3*300=1300
625/100*300=1875
From the above, 1875 is the greatest value which corresponds to 6.25. Therefore, 6.25 is the greatest value of all the choices given.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
We follow the order operations to solve for the unknown value of x.
3(2x+5)=11x+5
Open the bracket on the LHS by multiplying each term by 3
(3*2x)+(3*5)=11x+5
6x+15=11x+5
Subtract 15 from both sides
6x+15-15=11x+5-15
6x=11x-10
Subtract 11x on both sides
6x-11x=11x-11x-10
-5x=-10
Divide both sides by -5
-5x/-5=-10/-5
x= 2
Thus, the value of unknown value of x is 2.
Correct Answer is B

Looking at the give curve, we analyze each statement as:
- For statement 1: the points per game decreased five times between 1996 and 2015. So, the statement is false.
- For statement 2: the lowest points scored per game was in 1998-99 season and not in 2003-04 season. So, the statement is false.
- For statement 3: 2008-09 was the season the chargers scored the greatest number of points per game. So, this statement is false.
- For statement 4: the two season which no change in the points were 2012-13 and 2013-14. So this is true according to given curve.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Let's calculate the number of each color of gumball:
- Red: 20% of 120 → 0.2×120=24
- Orange: 30% of 120 → 0.3×120=36
- Yellow: 5% of 120 → 0.05×120=6
- Green: 10% of 120 → 0.1×120=12
- Blue: The remaining percentage: 100%−(20%+30%+5%+10%) = 100%−65% =35%
- So, 0.35×120=42 blue gumballs.
Now, we find how many more blue gumballs there are than yellow:
42−6=36
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
We convert the given word problem into a mathematical expression.
Let the number be x.
Thrice a number = 3x
Twelve less than thrice a number = 3x-12
Thus, the required mathematical expression is 3x-12
