Q: if x2 – y2 = 24, where x and y are positive integers (x > y), what is one possible value of x?

x2 – y2 = 24, (x + y)(x – y) = 24
x + y = 12, x-y = 2 or x + y = 6 and x – y = 4
Therefore, from the system of equations, x = 9, 3

of n and p, q, and r are their powers.

The number of factors of nn will be expressed by the formula (p+1)(q+1)(r+1)(p+1)(q+1)

(r+1). NOTE: this will include 1 and n itself.

Q: Q.2 How many gallons of 20% salt solution must be added to 10 gallons of a 50% salt solution to
produce 30% salt solution?
A. 5 gallons
B. 10 gallons
C. 15 gallons
D. 20 gallons

For me the concept was new but I learned the concept from mathhelp.com

The basic formula is:

Amount of solution x % salt (or any other thing e.g it can be sugar ) = Amount of Salt

Now back to the question

Amount of solution % of salt Amount of salt

Sol 1 10 0.50 5

Sol 2 x 0.20 0.20x

Mixture 10+x 0.30 0.30(10+x)

Now form an equation

5+ 0.20x =0.30(10+x) x=20 gallons. Hence the answer is D

Q : How much of water must be evaporated from 40 liters of 15% orange pulp solution to get 40%
orange pulp solution?

(tip: read question carefully )

Amount of solution % of orange pulp amount of orange pulp

40 0.15 6

X 0 0

Mix 40-x 0.40 0.40(40-x)

0.40(40-x) = 6+0

x = 25

Since the question is asking about the water evaporated we therefore subtract 40 from x otherwise it
would have been added to form the mixture. Also pure water has 0% orange pulp so its concentration
would be 0.

Q:

Q:
Say that BC = 2x, which makes AD = 6x. Now say the height of the trapezoid is y.

The area of the trapezoid will be the sum of three triangles; ABM, BCM, and MCD. Triangles ABM and
MCD have the same area: (1/2)(3x)(y) = (3/2)xy. Triangle BCM has the area (1/2)(2x)(y) = xy.

Therefore, the area of the whole trapezoid is (3/2)xy + xy + (3/2)xy = 4xy. Since the shaded region has
the area xy, it represents 1/4 of the trapezoid's area.

The figure above shows a metal hex nut with two regular hexagonal faces and a thickness of 1
cm. The length of each side of a hexagonal face is 2 cm. A hole with a diameter of 2 cm is
drilled through the nut. The density of the metal is 7.9 grams per cubic cm. What is the mass of
this nut, to the nearest gram? (Density is mass divided by volume.)

View Correct Answer

57

The question above asks students to make connections between physical concepts
such as mass and density and essential geometric ideas such as the Pythagorean
theorem and volume formulas. There are multiple approaches to solving this problem,
but in any of them, the aim is to find the volume of the metal nut and then use the
density of the metal to calculate the mass of the nut (57 grams). This is a multistep
problem that requires students to devise a multistep strategy and carry out all the
algebraic and numerical steps without error.

To solve this problem, students need to find the volume of the hex nut and then use the
given fact that density is mass divided by volume.

Finding the volume of the hex nut requires several steps. The first step is to calculate
the area of one of the hexagonal faces (without the drilled hole). Each face is a regular
hexagon, which can be divided into 6 equilateral triangles with side lengths of 2 cm.

Using 30-60-90 triangle properties, the height of each equilateral triangle is   cm. In

turn, the area of one equilateral triangle is   square cm, so the
area of the hexagonal face is   square cm. The volume of the hexagonal prism is the

area of one face multiplied by the height (or thickness in this case),   
cubic cm. Then, to account for the drilled hole, students need to calculate the volume of
a cylinder with diameter 2 cm (or radius 1 cm) and height 1 cm,   -
cubic cm, and subtract it from the volume of the hexagonal prism to yield  cubic
cm.

Finally, density is mass divided by volume,   Multiplying both sides of the

equation by   yields the mass of the hex nut as    grams. When the
values for   and  are substituted and the result is rounded to the nearest gram, the
answer is approximately 57 grams.
I first included zero in it as well. Zero is an integer but neither positive nor negative.
