OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have any guesses?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, sorta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this seems like questions to make you familiar to the basics of algebra, so it would not do much good if i just gave you the answers straight away as you'd struggle the rest of the year. So it's important you at least try to understand these assignments

OpenStudy (imstuck):

For the first one, you know that Dirk worked h hours, and that Charlie worked 1.5 hours less than Dirk. So the amount they work together is h + (h-1.5), right? And the total number of hours they work together is 25. So what is the answer to the first one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you at least tell me which ones you have already an answer to, and why you think that answer is correct?

OpenStudy (imstuck):

no 1 is not D. Dirk works h hours and his friend works 1.5 hours less than Dirk, so his friend works h - 1.5. You have that his friend works 1.5 hours more andd that is incorrect. 1 is C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Close call, i think your reasoning was largely correct but the (h+1.5) or (h-1.5) represents Charlie, as Dirk is already represented by the h. And since Charlie works less than dirk, it should be the one with the -

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\( \color{red}{Dirk}~ \color {green} {Charlie}~\color{blue}{total}\) \( \color{red} {h} + \color{green}{(h – 1.5)} = \color{blue}{25}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as for 2, the quotient of a number means a division. so an unknown number divided by 3 totals 18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k dudee i need help on the others i have 10 minutes my brother wrote this test for me and i get to borrow his skateboard for a week if i get them all correct..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i forgot to include the 8 less part, so an unknown number divided by 3 minus 8 equals 18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is 2 B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how bout 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the product of two numbers means multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that one should be obvious

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Soo what is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15 = 3x, as it's the only one with multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay ya i thought it was that one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if no symbol for adding, subtracting or division or anything else is added, multiplication is implied

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay 4 and 5! I have 5 min!!! :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which do you think it is at 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay can you explain to me after? i got 3 min.. Just give me the answers now then explain thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't think 5 has the correct answer listed btw,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5. The length of a rectangle is 4 inches longer than its width. The area of the rectangle is 12 square inches. What are the length and width? Which equation models this problem? 4 x w = 12 w(4 + w) = 12 w + (4 + w) = 12 w – (4 + w) = 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay dude please hurry i got 2 min what do you think 4 and 5 are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 min now :((

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4=A but D looks very similar indeed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 is none of those

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks. 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

foreal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh actually the answer is B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh dammit i chose c before the time went out hahaha thanks anyway

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey thanks so much for your help. I post on here sometimes and no one helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so (w+4) * w
