1- D
$$\frac{7}{25} = 0.28$$

2- B
$$\frac{240}{8} < x < \frac{320}{8}$$
$$30 < x < 40$$
Then:
Only choice b is correct

3- A
$$(4.2 + 4.3 + 4.5) x = x$$
$$13x = x$$
Then $$x = 0$$

4- D
For sum of 6: (1 & 5) and (5 & 1), (2 & 4) and (4 & 2), (3 & 3), therefore we have 5 options.
For sum of 9: (3 & 6) and (6 & 3), (4 & 5) and (5 & 4), we have 4 options.
To get a sum of 6 or 9 for two dice: $$5 + 4 = 9$$
Since, we have $$6 × 6 = 36$$ total number of options, the probability of getting a sum of 6 and 9 is 9 out of 36 or $$\frac{9}{36}=\frac{1}{4}$$.

5- C
Simplify:
$$\frac{\frac{1}{2}-\frac{x + 5}{4}}{\frac{x^2}{2}-\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}-\frac{x + 5}{4}}{\frac{x^2 – 5}{2}}=\frac{2(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{x + 5}{4})}{x^2 – 5}$$
⇒Simplify:
$$\frac{1}{2} – \frac{x + 5}{4}=\frac{- x – 3}{4}$$
then:
$$\frac{2(\frac{-x – 3}{4})}{x^2 – 5}=\frac{\frac{-x – 3}{2}}{x^2 – 5}=\frac{- x – 3}{2(x^2 – 5)}=\frac{- x – 3}{2x^2 – 10}$$

6- B
$$x_{1,2} =\frac{-b ± \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$$
$$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$$
$$4x^2 + 14x + 6 = 0$$
⇒ then: $$a = 4, b = 14$$ and $$c = 6$$
$$x = \frac{-14 + \sqrt {14^2 – 4 .4 .6}}{2 .4} = – \frac{1}{2}$$
$$x = \frac{-14 – \sqrt {14^2 – 4 .4 .6}}{2.4}= – 3$$

7- D
Use FOIL (First, Out, In, Last) method.
$$(x + 7)(x + 5) = x^2 + 5x + 7x + 35 = x^2 + 12x + 3$$

8- D
Solve for $$x$$.
$$-2≤2x-4<8$$⇒ (add 4 all sides) $$-2+4≤2x-4+4<8+4$$
⇒ $$2≤2x<12$$
⇒ (divide all sides by 2) $$1 ≤ x < 6$$
$$x$$ is between 1 and 6. Choice D represent this inequality.

9- A
$$|9 – (12 ÷ | 2 – 5 |)| = |(9-(12÷|-3|))|=|9-(12÷3)|=|9-4|=|5|=5$$

10- C
$$2 – 10 ÷ (4^2 ÷ 2) = 2 – 10 ÷ (16 ÷ 2) = 2 – 10 ÷ (8) = – 8 ÷ 8 = \ – 1$$
