$49.99 Satisfied 188 Students ## Answers: 1- C $$9×10=90$$ Petrol use: $$10×2=20$$ liters Petrol cost: $$20×1=20$$ Money earned: $$90-20=70$$ 2- D Five years ago, Amy was three times as old as Mike. Mike is $$10$$ years now. Therefore, $$5$$ years ago Mike was $$5$$ years. Five years ago, Amy was: $$A=3×5=15$$ Now Amy is $$20$$ years old: $$15 + 5 = 20$$ 3- D $$\begin{cases}\frac{-x}{2}+ \frac{y}{4} = 1 \\ \frac{-5y}{6}+2x = 4 & \end{cases}$$ Multiply the top equation by $$4$$. then: $$-2x+y=4$$ $$\frac{-5y}{6} + 2x = 4$$ Add two equations. $$\frac{1}{6}y=8→y=48$$ plug in the value of $$y$$ into the first equation $$→(x=22)$$ 4- B Two triangles ∆BAE and ∆BCD are similar. Then: $$\frac{AE}{CD} = \frac{AB}{BC}$$ $$\frac{4}{6} = \frac{x}{12}$$ then: $$48-4x=6x→10x=48→x=4.8$$ 5- D $$2x^2-11x+8=-3x+18→2x^2-11x+3x+8-18=0→2x^2-8x-10=0$$ $$→2(x^2-4x-5)=0→$$ Divide both sides by $$2$$. Then: $$x^2-4x-5=0$$, Find the factors of the quadratic equation. $$→(x-5)(x+1)=0→x=5$$ or $$x=-1$$ $$a>b$$, then: $$a=5$$ and $$b=-1$$ $$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{5}{-1}= -5$$ 6- C The area of the floor is: $$6 cm × 24 cm = 144 cm$$ The number is tiles needed $$= 144 ÷ 8 = 18$$ 7- A $$2x+4>11x-12.5-3.5x→$$ Combine like terms: $$2x+4>7.5x-12.5→$$ Subtract $$2x$$ from both sides: $$4>5.5x-12.5$$ Add $$12.5$$ both sides of the inequality. $$16.5>5.5x$$ Divide both sides by $$5.5$$. $$\frac{16.5}{5.5}>x→x<3$$ 8- A $$3a=4b→b=\frac{3a}{4}$$ and $$3a=5c→c= \frac{3a}{5}$$ $$a+2b+15c=a+ (2× \frac{3a}{4})+(15× \frac{3a}{5})=a+1.5a+9a=11.5a$$ 9- C $$x$$ is the number of all sales profit and $$2\%$$ of it is: $$2\%×x=0.02x$$ Employer’s revenue: $$0.2x+7000$$ 10- C First, find the factors of numerator and denominator of the expression. Then simplify. $$\frac{5x^2+75x-80}{x^2-1}=\frac{5(x^2+15x-16)}{(x-1)(x+1)}$$ $$\frac{5(x+16)(x-1)}{ (x-1)(x+1)}=\frac{5(x+16)}{ (x+1)}$$ $$=\frac{(5x+80)}{ (x+1)}$$ ## College Entrance Tests Looking for the best resource to help you succeed on the PSAT Math test? ## The Best Books to Ace the PSAT Math Test$14.99
