What is \( \frac{4z^7}{6z^4} \)?
| \(\frac{2}{3}\)z28 | |
| \(\frac{2}{3}\)z3 | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)z-3 | |
| \(\frac{2}{3}\)z11 |
To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
\( \frac{4z^7}{6z^4} \)
\( \frac{4}{6} \) z(7 - 4)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)z3
Solve 4 + (3 + 5) ÷ 2 x 2 - 42
| -4 | |
| \(\frac{3}{7}\) | |

| 1 |
Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):
4 + (3 + 5) ÷ 2 x 2 - 42
P: 4 + (8) ÷ 2 x 2 - 42
E: 4 + 8 ÷ 2 x 2 - 16
MD: 4 + \( \frac{8}{2} \) x 2 - 16
MD: 4 + \( \frac{16}{2} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{8}{2} \) + \( \frac{16}{2} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{24}{2} \) - 16
AS: \( \frac{24 - 32}{2} \)
\( \frac{-8}{2} \)

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 25% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $12, how much will he pay for both shirts?
| $3.00 | |
| $16.20 | |
| $21.00 | |
| $12.60 |
By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $12 x \( \frac{25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$12 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$300}{100} \) = $3.00 on the second shirt.
So, his total cost will be
$12.00 + ($12.00 - $3.00)
$12.00 + $9.00
$21.00
If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 42 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 128 m2 | |
| 162 m2 | |
| 98 m2 | |
| 72 m2 |
The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 42 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 42.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 42
w + h = \( \frac{42}{2} \)
w + h = 21
w = 21 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 21 - 2w
3w = 21
w = \( \frac{21}{3} \)
w = 7
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 7) = 14 and the area = h x w = 7 x 14 = 98 m2
If \( \left|x + 0\right| \) + 2 = -2, which of these is a possible value for x?
| 15 | |
| -4 | |
| 2 | |
| 21 |
First, solve for \( \left|x + 0\right| \):
\( \left|x + 0\right| \) + 2 = -2
\( \left|x + 0\right| \) = -2 - 2
\( \left|x + 0\right| \) = -4
The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (x + 0) must equal - 4 or --4 for \( \left|x + 0\right| \) to equal -4:
| x + 0 = -4 x = -4 + 0 x = -4 | x + 0 = 4 x = 4 + 0 x = 4 |
So, x = 4 or x = -4.
