Which equation is equivalent to ? 11x - (2 - x) = 51
A. 13x = 51
B. 12x = 53
C. 12x = 49
D. 10x = 53
The equation 11x - (2 - x) = 51 simplifies to 11x - 2 + x = 51, which further simplifies to 12x - 2 = 51. Adding 2 to both sides of the equation gives 12x = 53. Therefore, the equivalent equation is option D. 10x = 53.

wrong
stop choosing d
I apologize for the mistake. Let's solve the equation correctly.
To solve 11x - (2 - x) = 51, let's first simplify the equation:
11x - (2 - x) = 51
11x - 2 + x = 51
12x - 2 = 51
12x = 53
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 12 to isolate x:
12x/12 = 53/12
x = 53/12
Therefore, the equation is equivalent to x = 53/12. None of the given options match this equation, so the correct answer is none of the above.
A company charges $7 for a T-shirt and ships any order for $22. A school principal ordered a number of T-shirts for the school store. The total cost of the order was $1,520. How many T-shirts did the principal order?
A.
69
B.
150
C.
214
D.
220
Let x be the number of T-shirts the principal ordered.
The total cost of the order is given by the cost of the T-shirts plus the shipping cost:
Total cost = (Cost per T-shirt * Number of T-shirts) + Shipping cost
We are given that the cost per T-shirt is $7 and the shipping cost is $22. We can now write the equation:
1520 = (7 * x) + 22
To isolate x, subtract 22 from both sides:
1520 - 22 = 7x
1498 = 7x
Divide both sides by 7:
1498/7 = x
214 = x
The principal ordered 214 T-shirts.
Therefore, the answer is C. 214.
The table below shows the total number of brake pads produced by machines throughout a 12-hour work day.
The table shows the number of brake pads produced in 3 hours is 48, 6 hours is 96, 9 hours is 144, and 12 hours is 192.
What is the unit rate for brake pads produced per hour?
A.
4 brake pads per hour
B.
3 brake pads per hour
C.
12 brake pads per hour
D.
16 brake pads per hour
To find the unit rate for brake pads produced per hour, we need to divide the total number of brake pads produced by the number of hours.
The total number of brake pads produced in 12 hours is 192.
Therefore, the unit rate for brake pads produced per hour is 192/12 = 16 brake pads per hour.
So, the correct answer is D. 16 brake pads per hour.

0.40(ab)
B.
0.40(a + b)
C.
0.40 + a + 0.40 + b
D.
0.80(ab)
