Answer: 1 – inequaltity , 2 – variable , 3 - statistics, 4 -equation, 5 -ratio, 6 - coefficient, 7 - median

2. Simplify the expressions using the properties of operations.

a) (2m + 5n) + (3m + 2n) =

b) (5.23x + 3.76) − (3.67x − 6.39)
1
c) ( ) (9y - 9)
3

a) = 2m+3m + 5n+2n
=5m + 7n
b) =5.23x-3.67x + 3.76+6.39

1
 =1.56 + 10.15
c) =9y- 9*1/3
=9y-3

3. Solve the equations and inequalities below.

a) 59 - t = 22
w
b) 17 + = 45
3
c) 232 < 8 + 8p

a) 59 – t = 22
= 59 – 22
= 37
b)
c) 232<
