If the trend below continues, which of the following is the best estimate of the average price of a home in 2016?

 

Here we collect like terms together and solve for the unknown value of x.

7x-6=3x-26

Add 6 to both sides of the equation

7x-6+6=3x-26+6

7x=3x-20

Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation

7x-3x=-20

4x=-20

Divide both sides by 4

4x/-4=-20/4

x = -5

The value of x = -5

Here we are required to find the area of the square of sides 3.1 m. The square is a four-sided figure with each side equal and opposite sides making 90 degrees.

Area of the square =side*side

Side=3.1 m

Area of the square=3.1 m *3.1 m=9.61 m2

Note: 3.1 + 3.1 = 6.2 which is a wrong answer.

Looking at the given trend, it is observed that the price increases with years. From 2008 to 2012, the price is fairly constant but we expect it to be more than $130,000 in the year 2016. The expected price in 2016 is $140,000.

The mean is the total divided by the number of elements in the data set. From the given data set:

Total=30+29+28+30+24+12+26+33+25+23=260

Number of items, N=10

Mean=total/N=260/10=26

The mean is 26.

to do a comparison of the given data set, we convert the fraction numbers into the approximate decimals.

4/3=1.333

2720=1.35

Now, we have 1.333, 1.35, 1.369, 1.357. These numbers are arranged from the smallest to the largest number, we look at the number in the second decimal place value

1.333 the number in second decimal place value is 3

1.35 the number in third decimal place value is 5

1.369 the number in third decimal place value is 6

1.357 the number in third decimal place value is 5

However, 1.35 and 1.357 have 5 in the second-place vale. We use the ird place value to compare the two number:

1.35 is same as 1.350 and the number in the third-place value is 0

1.357 the number in the third-place value is 7

Now, 0 is less than 7, and thus 1.35 is less than 1.357

Overall, 3 is less than 5, and 5 less than 6 and the provided numbers can be arranged from the smallest to the largest as:

1.333, 1.35, 1.357, 1.369

Thus, the corresponding given numbers organized from the smallest to the largest become:

4/3, 27/20, 1.357, 1.369

The greatest value is 1.369

The whole pie chart represents 100%, which we use together with the given percentages to find the respective different sports. Note that 100% is equal to 500 surveyed students. The, the number of teenagers who prefer:

Soccer

Hockey

Football

Basketball

Other

From the evaluations above, 90 teenagers love soccer, 80 love hockey, 190 teenagers love football, 120 teenagers love basketball, and 20 teenagers love others.

all products represent 100%. Then, the portion of defect products is:

0.0025 of 100%

‘of’ means multiply

0.0025 *100%=0.25%

We use the properties of exponent with the same base to solve for above expression.

Multiplication of exponents with same base, we add the exponents

Division of exponents with same base, we subtract the exponents

Using these two properties, we can solve the expression:

Now we use the following properties:

y0 =1, and, thus

We can interpret ‘cannot exceed” as less than ‘<’. Therefore, in our inequality, the symbol < must be included. Now let’s convert the word problem into a mathematical inequality.

Money spent on supplies=s

Money spent on textbooks=t

Total money spent=money spent on supplies + money spent on textbooks

Total money spent = s+t

But the money spent cannot exceed $12,000. Then,

s+t <$12,000.
However the money spent can still be equal to $12000, as it has not exceeded it.

Therefore, therequired inequality is s + t <= $12,000.

A teaspoon can approximately hold 5 mL.

Although the capacity of a teaspoon could be more or less, choice D remains the most correct answer as the other choices have amounts too much for a small teaspoon.
