Multiplying both sides of $$\frac{x – 3}{5}) = 6$$ by 5 gives $$x – 3 = 30$$ and then adding 3 to both sides of $$x – 3 = 30$$ then, $$x = 33$$ 2- C Method 1: Plugin the values of $$x$$ and $$y$$ provided in the options into both equations. $$(4,3) → x+y=0→4+3≠0$$ $$(5,4) → x+y=0→5+4≠0$$ $$(4,-4) →x+y=0→4+(-4)=0$$ $$(4,-6) →x+y=0→4+(-6)≠0$$ Only option C is correct. 3- B The total number of pages read by Sara is 3 (hours she spent reading) multiplied by her rate of reading: $$N \ \frac{pages}{hour }× 3hours = 3N$$ Similarly, the total number of pages read by Mary is 4 (hours she spent reading) multiplied by her rate of reading: $$M \space \frac{pages}{hour}× 4hours =4M$$ the total number of pages read by Sara and Mary is the sum of the total number of pages read by Sara and the total number of pages read by Mary: $$3N+4M$$ 4- C First, find the equation of the line. All lines through the origin are of the form $$y = mx$$, so the equation is $$y=\frac{1}{3}x$$. Of the given choices, only choice C (9,3), satisfies this equation: $$y=\frac{1}{3}x→3=\frac{1}{3}(9)=3$$ 5- C First, find the value of b, and then find $$f(3)$$. Since $$f(2) = 35$$, substuting $$2$$ for $$x$$ and $$35$$ for $$f(x)$$ gives $$35=b(2)^2+15=4b+15$$. Solving this equation gives $$b = 5$$. Thus $$f(x)=5x^2+15$$ $$f(3)=5(3)^2+15→f(3)=45+15$$ $$f(3)=60$$ 6- C You can find the possible values of a and b in $$(ax + 4)(bx + 3)$$ by using the given equation $$a + b = 7$$ and finding another equation that relates the variables a and b. Since $$(ax+4)(bx+3)=10x^2+cx+12$$, expand the left side of the equation to obtain $$abx^2+4bx+3ax+12=10x^2+cx+12$$ Since ab is the coefficient of $$x^2$$ on the left side of the equation and 10 is the coefficient of $$x^2$$ on the right side of the equation, it must be true that $$ab=10$$ The coefficient of x on the left side is $$4b + 3a$$ and the coefficient of $$x$$ in the right side is c. Then: $$4b+3a=c$$ $$a + b = 7$$, then: $$a = 7 – b$$ Now, plug in the value of a in the equation $$ab = 10$$. Then: $$ab=10→(7-b)b=10→7b-b^2=10$$ Add $$-7b+b^2$$ both sides. Then: $$b^2-7b+10=0$$ Solve for $$b$$ using the factoring method. $$b^2-7b+10=0→(b-5)(b-2)=0$$ Thus, either $$b=2$$ and $$a = 5$$, or $$b = 5$$ and $$a = 2$$. If $$b = 2$$ and $$a = 5$$, then: $$4b+3a=c→4(2)+3(5)=c→c=23$$ If 5 = 2 and a = 2, then $$4b+3a=c→4(5)+3(2)=c→c=26$$ Therefore, the two possible values for $$c$$ are $$23$$ and $$26$$. 7- A To rewrite $$\frac{1}{\frac{1}{x – 5} + \frac{1}{x + 4}}$$, first simplify $$\frac{1}{x – 5} + \frac{1}{x + 4}$$ $$\frac{1}{x – 5} + \frac{1}{x + 4}= \frac{1(x+4)}{(x-5)(x+4)}+ \frac{1(x-5)}{(x+4)(x-5)}=\frac{(x+4)+(x-5)}{(x+4)(x-5)}$$ Then: $$\frac{1}{\frac{1}{x – 5} + \frac{1}{x + 4}}= \frac{1}{\frac{(x+4)+(x-5)}{(x+4)(x-5)} }= \frac{(x-5)(x+4)}{(x-5)+(x+4)}$$ (Remember, $$\frac{1}{\frac{1}{x}} = x$$) This result is equivalent to the expression in choice A. 8- D The problem asks for the sum of the roots of the quadratic equation (2n^2+16n+24=0). Dividing each side of the equation by 2 gives (n^2+8n+12=0). If the roots of $$n^2+8n+12=0$$ are $$n_{1}$$ and $$n_{2}$$, then the equation can be factored as $$n^2+8n+12=(n – n_{1})(n – n_{2} )=0$$. Looking at the coefficient of n on each side of $$n^2+8n+12 = (n + 6)(n+2)$$ gives $$n=-6$$ or $$n=-2$$ then, $$-6+(-2)=-8$$ 9- D To perform the division $$\frac{3 + 2i}{5+i}$$, multiply the numerator and denominator of $$\frac{3+2i}{5+1i}$$ by the conjugate of the denominator, $$5 – i$$. This gives $$\frac{(3+2i)(5-i)}{(5+1i)(5-i)}=\frac{15-3i+10i-2i^2}{5^2-i^2}$$. Since $$i^2=-1$$, this can be simplified to $$\frac{15-3i+10i+2}{25+1}=\frac{17+7i}{26}$$. 10- B The input value is 5. Then: $$x = 5$$ $$f(x)=x^2-3x→ f(5)=5^2-3(5)=25-15=10$$ ## High School Equivalency Tests Looking for the best resource to help you succeed on the SAT Math test? ## The Best Books to Ace the SAT Math Test$15.99
