Solution

Here are the solutions to the questions from your image:


6) Which ordered pair is a solution of y=6x7y = -6x - 7?

We test each pair:

  1. For (0.5,4)(0.5, -4): y=6(0.5)7=37=104y = -6(0.5) - 7 = -3 - 7 = -10 \neq -4

  2. For (2,19)(2, -19): y=6(2)7=127=19(Correct!)y = -6(2) - 7 = -12 - 7 = -19 \quad \text{(Correct!)}

  3. For (2,5)(-2, -5): y=6(2)7=127=55y = -6(-2) - 7 = 12 - 7 = 5 \neq -5

  4. For (3,11)(3, 11): y=6(3)7=187=2511y = -6(3) - 7 = -18 - 7 = -25 \neq 11

Answer: B.(2,19)\mathbf{B. (2, -19)}


7) Which values of xx and yy will make the expression 3(2xy)2=33(-2x - y)^2 = 3?

Simplify the equation: (2xy)2=1(-2x - y)^2 = 1 This implies: 2xy=±1-2x - y = \pm 1

Case 1: 2xy=1-2x - y = 1 y=2x1y = -2x - 1

Case 2: 2xy=1-2x - y = -1 y=2x+1y = -2x + 1

Now, test the options:

  • (x=2,y=1)(x = -2, y = 1): 2(2)1=41=31-2(-2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3 \neq 1

  • (x=1,y=3)(x = -1, y = 3): 2(1)3=23=1(Correct for Case 2!)-2(-1) - 3 = 2 - 3 = -1 \quad \text{(Correct for Case 2!)}

Answer: B.x=1,y=3\mathbf{B. x = -1, y = 3}


8) Which property is illustrated by a(b+c)=ab+aca(b + c) = ab + ac?

This is the Distributive Property, as it demonstrates the distribution of aa over b+cb + c.

Answer: D.Distributive Property\mathbf{D. \text{Distributive Property}}


9) Complete the table.

  1. For n=2n = 2: 5n+6=5(2)+6=10+6=16,2n+15=2(2)+15=4+15=195n + 6 = 5(2) + 6 = 10 + 6 = 16, \quad 2n + 15 = 2(2) + 15 = 4 + 15 = 19

  2. For n=3n = 3: 5n+6=5(3)+6=15+6=21,2n+15=2(3)+15=6+15=215n + 6 = 5(3) + 6 = 15 + 6 = 21, \quad 2n + 15 = 2(3) + 15 = 6 + 15 = 21

  3. For n=4n = 4: 5n+6=5(4)+6=20+6=26,2n+15=2(4)+15=8+15=235n + 6 = 5(4) + 6 = 20 + 6 = 26, \quad 2n + 15 = 2(4) + 15 = 8 + 15 = 23

Completed Table:

\hline n & 5n + 6 & 2n + 15 \\ \hline 2 & 16 & 19 \\ 3 & 21 & 21 \\ 4 & 26 & 23 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ --- ### 10) **Evaluate $$b^2 - 4ac$$ for $$a = -1, b = -5, c = 2$$.** Substitute values: $$b^2 - 4ac = (-5)^2 - 4(-1)(2) = 25 - (-8) = 25 + 8 = 33$$ **Answer: $$\mathbf{33}$$** --- ### 11) **How many calories may Javier consume in his last meal?** Javier's total calorie range is 1500–1800. He has already consumed 1150 calories. Let $$x$$ represent calories for his last meal: $$1500 \leq 1150 + x \leq 1800$$ Simplify: $$350 \leq x \leq 650$$ **Answer: $$\mathbf{350 \leq x \leq 650}$$** --- Do you want further details or have any questions? --- ### Related Questions: 1.
