Write THREE equations that have a solution of:    x = -1

Write an expression for the sequence of operations:

• Add 3 to x, subtract the result from 1, then double what you have.
• Add 3 to x, double what you have, then subtract 1 from the result.

HINT: Parenthesis force you to do operations before other operations!

There is no blog assignment or IXL assignment this week! Enjoy some good family time and and great eats!!!

Mr. Mendelson wants to know how his P.E. classes are improving in the number of push-ups they can do. This graph shows the number of push-ups each student in his 1st period class was able to do last month and this month.

120 students went to Fun Park for the day. Two-fifths of the group waited in line for the Super Looper. The rest of the group waited in line for the Jet Coaster. A single ride on the Super Looper lasts 10 min and can take 8 people at a time. A single ride on the Jet Coaster lasts 8 min and can take 12 people. Will the group riding the Super Looper finish first or will the group riding the Jet Coaster finish first?

Don’t forget to explain how you know your solution is correct!!!!!

Don’t forget to explain how you know the answer choice you chose is the correct solution!

Mark buys a wooden board that is 7 1/2 ft. long. The cost of a wooden board is $0.50 per foot including tax.

How much is the cost, in dollars of the wooden board?

While grading student papers, I noticed that while computing the product of 4.5 and 1.2, this student carefully lined up the decimals and then multiplied, bringing the decimal point straight down and reporting a product of 54.0.

Is this solution correct or incorrect? Defend your choice either way with a DETAILED explanation as to why this student was correct or incorrect in solving this math problem!

On the number line below, the numbers m and n are the same distance from 0. Which of the following equations is correct:

m + n = 0
m – n = 0
m = n
m/n = 1

PLEASE READ THIS!!!! Don’t just select an answer. PROVE IT by using an example (or two)!

If x<y, which of the following best describes the values of:

1. It is always greater than 1
   
2. It is always less than 1
3. It is always 1
4. It varies depending on the values of x and y

DON’T JUST PICK AN ANSWER!!! You need 3 examples of your own. Pick examples for x and y (they must be different because the variables are different), plug them in and see what happens. 

HINT: The values you pick can be whole numbers, mixed numbers, integers, fractions, a mix, ect…
