Tickets to a baseball game cost $3 for a child’s ticket and $5 for an adult ticket. At the last game, $521 was collected when 139 people attended the game. Which value could replace x in the table so that a single-variable equation can be written and solved to determine the number of child’s tickets, c, sold?

• 139

• 125

• 139-c

• 201

Multiple Choice

Alexandra has 36 coins valued at $6.00. She has only nickels and quarters. Which equation can be used to solve for the number of nickels, n?

• 0.05n + 0.25(36 – n) = 36

• 0.05n + 0.25(36 – n) = 6

• n + 0.05 = 0.05n

• n + (36 – n) = 36

Multiple Choice

Line AB goes through the points A (0, –4) and B (6, 2). Which equation represents line AB?

• y – 4 = 3x

• y – 2 = 3(x – 6)

• y + 4 = x

• y + 6 = x - 2

Multiple Choice

Ava wants to figure out the average speed she is driving. She starts checking her car’s clock at mile marker 0. It takes her 4 minutes to reach mile marker 3. When she reaches mile marker 6, she notes that 8 minutes total have passed since mile marker 0.

What is the average speed of the car in miles per minute?

• 0.75

• 7.5

• 75

• 0.075

Multiple Choice

Ava wants to figure out the average speed she is driving. She starts checking her car’s clock at mile marker 0. It takes her 4 minutes to reach mile marker 3. When she reaches mile marker 6, she notes that 8 minutes total have passed since mile marker 0.

What is an equation of the line that represents n, the number of mile marker passed, as a function of t, time in minutes?

• n-6=0.75(t-8)

• n-8=0.75(t-6)

• 6n=0.75(t-8)

• 8n=0.75(7-6)

Multiple Choice

Which equations represent the data in the table? Check all that apply.

• y – 2 = –5/4(x – 1)

• y-1=5/4(x-6)

• y – 6 = -5/4(x + 2)

• y + 2 = -5/4(x – 6)

Multiple Choice

Line AB goes through the points A (0, –4) and B (6, 2). Which equation represents line AB?

• y – 4 = 3x

• y – 2 = 3(x – 6)

• y + 4 = x

• y + 6 = x - 2

Multiple Choice

Jacob is training for a marathon. His plan is to run the same distance for 3 days a week, then increase that distance by the same amount each week of training. During week 6, Jacob runs 14 miles per day, which is 1.5 miles more per day than he ran during week 5. Which equation represents the daily running distance, in miles, as a function of time, t, in weeks?

• f(t) = 0.5t + 7

• f(t) = 0.5t + 11

• f(t) = 1.5t + 5

• f(t) = 1.5t + 12.5

Multiple Choice

Renata wins a $20 gift card to an online music site. After Renata purchases 16 songs, the gift card has a remaining balance of $0. Which equation represents the relationship between y, the remaining balance on Renata’s gift card, and x, the number of songs purchased?

• 4x + 5y = –100

• 5x + 4y = 80

• 4x + 5y = 16

• 5x + 4y = 20
