Choice A is not the right answer because it only averages 60, 76, 93, 85, 100 which is not

valid,
because it assumes that the last score is 100.

Choice B is not the right answer because it only averages 60, 76, 93, 85, which is only the
average of 4 exams and not the 5th exam score to get an average of 66.

Choice C is not the right answer because it only averages 60, 76, 93, 85, 76 which is not valid
since it assumes that the last score is 76.

Choice D is the right answer. (see solution below)

Set up the average: = 76

Simplify the numerator: = 76

Multiply 5 on both sides: 314 + x = 380

Subtract 314 on both sides: x = 66

Question 6

Choice A is not the best answer because it is the cost of 1 box pencil when the problem is solved using
systems of linear equation.

Choice B is the answer.(see solution below)

Choice C is not the best answer because it is the cost of 2 box of pencils.

Choice D is not the best answer because it just divides the amount they paid to the number of
notebooks.

Choice E is not the best answer because it is the cost of 5 notebooks.

Question 7

Choice A is the best answer. (see solution below)

Choice B is not the best answer because the distribution of negative on (x-y) is wrong.

: -(x - y) = -x y is not right.

Choice C is not the right answer because it changes the sign of z upon evaluation.

: -(x - y) - z = -x + y + z is not right.

Choice D is not the right answer because the distribution of negative on (x-y) is wrong.

: -(x - y) = x y is not right.

Choice E is not the right answer because the distribution of negative on (x-y) is wrong.

: -(x - y) = x + y
 Question 8

Choice A is not the best answer because it is just the coefficient of x in original equation which is not
the definition of slope.

Choice B is not the right answer because it is the slope perpendicular to the line -3x + 4y = 12

Choice C is not the best answer because the transposition of 3x upon isolation of y is wrong.

Step 1 1 : -3x + 4y = 12
3
Step 2 2 : 4y=12-3X is wrong so therefore the slope - would be wrong.
4

Choice D is the best answer. (see solution below)

Choice E is not the best answer because it is the just the coefficient of x upon isolation 4y.

Question 9

Choice A is not the best answer because in getting the percentage you cannot just add everything. Here,
it just add 8 and 12.

Choice B is not the best answer because it subtracts 8 from 12 which is 4 and 4 is 50% of 8. It is not the
proper way to get the percentage.

Choice C is not the right answer because in getting the percentage you cannot just divide
everything.here, it just divide 12 by 8.

Choice D is the right answer. (see solution below)

Choice E is not the right answer because in getting the percentage you cannot just add everything. Here
,it just add 8, 12, and 100 which is invalid.

Question 10

Choice A is not the best answer because in squaring a number, you dont just multiply it with the
exponent. Here, it just multiply it by the exponent to get its value when raised to the power of 2.

Choice B is not the best answer because the value of x used is wrong the cube root of 4096 is not 8.

Choice C is the best answer (see solution below)

Choice D is not the right answer because it just divide 4096 by 3 which is not the right way to get the
cube root of a number, then it just multiply it by the exponent to get its value when raised to the power
of 2 which is again wrong.

Choice E is not the best answer because the value of x used is wrong the cube root of 4096 is not 64.

Question 11

Choice A is not the best answer because it adds 4 and 7 which is wrong since the operation is
subtraction
Choice B is the best answer.(see solution below)

Choice C is the not the best answer because it assumes that if the answer is negative, it should be
equated to zero which is wrong.

Choice D is not the best answer because the absolute value of -3 is not -3.

Choice E is not the best answer because the sign of 4 became negative upon evaluation, and it did not
get the absolute value of the resulting answer.

Question 12

Choice A is the best answer.(see solution below)

Choice B is not the best answer because it is the probability of spades from the total red cards.

Choice C is not the best answer because it is the probability of selecting black card off the floor.

Choice D is not the best answer because it is the probability of selecting diamond cards off the floor.

Choice E is not the best answer because it is the probability of selecting heart cards off the floor.

Question 13

Choice A is not the right answer because in this problem, matrix should be used and the problem used a
wrong method. The problem used the method below to solve the problem which is wrong.

120 - 1.4/2*120

Choice B is not the correct answer because the ratios used in matrices solving do not correspond to
their counterpart just like the solution below.

30(0.3) + 20(0.2) + 30(0.4) + 40(0.5)
