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.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
: In order to solve for the value of x, we use the order of operations as follows:
The first step is to divide both sides by 3


Add 2 to both sides to eliminate it from the left-hand side of the equation
x-2+2=4+2
x = 6
Thus, the value of x is 6.
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
Explanation
: a ratio can be thought of a fraction of the form a/b, where b is not equal to zero. In ratio form, to means per.
Now, the class has 26 girls and 22 boys. Thus, the ratio of girls to boys becomes:
                      
The fraction above reduces into
                   
Â
In ratio form, girls: boys=13:11
Thus, the ratio of girls to boys in a class of 48 students is 13 to 11.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Histograms are used to present frequency of data of one variable over the other. On the other hand, a bar graph is used to compare the two variables with the rectangles not touching one another as in histograms. Scatter plots are used to show the correlations between two variables. In this case, the teacher will be able to use scatter plot to establish the correlation between test scores and the subjects.
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
from the given data, one gallon of cleaning solution requires 6 oz of ammonia. The mathematical expression of this statement can be expressed in two ways:
      
Or
        
The question requires we find the amount of ammonia needed to make 230 gallons of the solution. So, we use the second option and proceed as follows:
          
From the above equation, gallon of solution will cancel, and oz of ammonia is left.
Therefore, the solution will require 1380 oz of ammonia.
