7.2 x+ 4 =x
What is the negative solution to the given equation?
Solution:
Assume that x ≠−4 , we multiple two sides of the equation with ¿)
It implies that:
2 2
45=x ( x + 4 ) ⇔ 45=x + 4 x ⇔ x +6 x−55=0 ⇔ ( x+ 9 ) ( x −5 )=0
⇔ ( x+ 9 )=0∨( x−5 ) =0 ⟺ x =9(good )∨x=5
Because we want to find the negative solution of the given equation, the
solution is −9

9. Data set X: 5, 9, 9, 13
Data set Y: 5, 9, 9, 13, 27
The lists give the values in data sets X and Y. Which statement correctly
compares the mean of data set X and the mean of data set Y?
A) The mean of data set X is greater than the mean
of data set Y.
B) The mean of data set X is less than the mean of
data set Y.
C) The means of data set X and data set Y are equal.
D) There is not enough information

Choice B is correct. The mean of a data set is the sum of the values in the
data set divided by the number of values in the data set. It follows that the
5+9+9+ 13
mean of data set X is 4
, or 9,
5+9+9+ 13+27
and the mean of data set Y is 5
, or 12.6. Since 9 is less than
12.6, the mean of data set X is less than the mean of data set Y
9. 2 Data set X: 4, 3, 2, 1, 3, 2
Data set Y: 4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 0
The lists give the values in data sets X and Y. Which statement correctly
compares the mean of data set X and the mean of data set Y?
A) The mean of data set X is greater than the mean
of data set Y.
B) The mean of data set X is less than the mean of
data set Y.
C) The means of data set X and data set Y are equal.

Solution
Choice A is correct. It’s given that the rocket contained 467,000 kilograms
(kg) of propellant before launch and had 362,105 kg remaining exactly 21
seconds after launch. Finding the difference between the amount, in kg, of
propellant before launch and the remaining amount, in kg, of propellant
after launch gives the amount, in kg, of propellant burned during the 21
seconds: 500,000−465,000=35,000 . Dividing the amount of propellant
35000
burned by the number of seconds yields =3,500. Thus, an average of
10
3,500 kg of propellant burned each second after launch.
D) 60
Solution
Choice A is correct. 6+ x =12⇒ x=12−6 ⇒ x=6 . Therefore 12 x+ 8=12.6+ 8=80
C) 6
D) 10
Solution
D is correct. It’s given that the equation represents h=−5 .9t 2 +6 t+ 10 this
situation, where h is the height, in meters, of the ball t seconds after it is
kicked. It follows that the height, in meters, from which the ball was kicked
is the value of h when t=0. Substituting 0 for t in the equation
2
h=−5.9 t +6 t +10 yields h=−5.9 ( 0 ) +6 ( 0 ) +10=10, or h =10. Therefore, the

12.2. A marble is dropped from a table. The equation h=−0 , 5 t 2 +t+ 0.7
represents this situation, where h is the height of the ball above the
ground, in meters, t seconds after it is kicked. Which number represents
the height, in meters, from which the ball was kicked?
A) 0
B) 0.5
C) 0.7
D) 1
Solution
C is correct. It’s given that the equation represents h=−0.5 t+ t+0.7 this
situation, where h is the height, in meters, of the marble t seconds after it is
dropped. It follows that the height, in meters, from which the marble was
dropped is the value of h when t=0 . Substituting 0 for t in the equation
h=−0.5 t+ t+0.7 yields h=−0.5 ( 0 )2 + ( 0 )+ 0.7=0.7 , or h = 0.7. Therefore, the
marble was dropped from a height of 9 meters
