OMG! Algebra is easy. First, an “expression” is just a number sentence. For example, if you wanted to buy the Wii games and you didn’t know how much these games cost you could show this “number expression” by writing 3 x _________ . The blank is there because it’s what you don’t know, the cost of each game. With algebra, instead of a blank you put a letter. It could be any letter X, Z, G… Usually the letter is the first letter of the thing you talking about. So to write an algebraic expression you would write: 3 x C. 3 because you want 3 games and C because you don’t know the Cost of each game. Mrs. Sweetland gives 3 bonus points for each extra-credit problem correctly completed. If b stands for the number of extra-credit problems correctly completed, which expression is equal to the total number of bonus points? • a. b x 3 • c. b. b + 3 b ÷ 3 d. b - 3 • e. 3 > b A because times usually all wais goes first. Find the value of y. x-y=y x = 10 • • • • • A. B. C. D. E. 32 16 4 5 2 The answer is d because 10 minus 5 equals 5. You know how to find the sum of the angles of a polygon. The sum of the angles for a triangle (3 sides) is 180. The sum of the angles of a quadrilateral (4 sides) is 360. The sum of the angles of a pentagon (5 sides) is 540. If “S” is the amount of sides, which expression can be used to illustrate this way of finding the sum of the angles of any polygon. 45 • • • • A. (S – 2) * 180 B. S + (2 + 180) C. 180 * S D. (360 x 2) 90 You add up the angles and the sum for any triangle is 180 45 90 45 45 180 120 90 90 100 90 You add up the angles and the sum for any square or rectangle or 4 sided figure and the sum is 380 90 90 90 90 360 100 90 110 110 You add up the angles and the sum for any 5 sided figure and the sum is 540 110 110 100 100 120 540 180 360 720 540 I know i am right because first I gust guessed but then I took seven twenty divided by six and got one twenty .then I took one twenty times six and got 720 .first I started of with this one to learn it because is is a lot easy 100ft First of all you should add all the numbers that you do know so then once you get the 125ft question marks you can just add them to all the other ones combined. the ones on the top are 100 because you take 65 pulse 35.the to get this one you need to take 50 +75=125. then add it all up together to get . How much fencing is needed to go around the perimeter of this yard? 450ft How much sod is needed to cover this yard? One angle of a RIGHT triangle is 30 degrees. Which expression shows how to find the measure of the third angle? ??? 30 90 A. 3* 180=A B. 3 * 90 + 60=A C. (360 / 3) - 90 D. 180 – 90 – 30=A The answer is Calvin’s little brother jumped up and down. “Here they come!” shouted Calvin. Around the corner came the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Half of the people were on floats; 25% were in marching bands; clowns made up 1/8; TV stars made up 1/16; and there were 10 city officials, or 1/16. How many people were in the parade, and how many were in each group?
