Jerry has a new job and earns a salary of $20,000. Lavona has a new job and earns a salary of $13,000. Jerry will receive a salary increase of $1,000 per year, Lavona will receive a salary increase of $8,000 per year.

Which equation can be used to find x, the number of years it will take Lavona to earn the same as Jerry?

• 20,000x + 1,000 = 13,000x + 8,000

• 20,000 + 1,000x = 13,000 + 8,000x

• 20,000x + 8,000 = 13,000x + 1,000

• 20,000 + 8,000x = 13,000 + 1,000x

In a museum there is a sculpture in the shape of a cylinder. The cylinder has a diameter of 8 feet and height of h feet, Which equation can be used to find V, the volume of the cylinder in cubic feet?

• V = π(4)²h

• V = π(8)²h

• V = π(4h)²

• V = π(8h)²

Trapezoid PQRS is rotated 180° about the orgin to form P'Q'R'S'.

Which statement is true?

• The sum of the angles measures of trapezoid PQRS is 180° less than the sum of the angle measures of trapezoid P'Q'R'S'.

• Trapezoid PQRS is not congruent to trapezoid P'Q'R'S'.

• The area of trapezoid PQRS is less than the area of trapezoid P'Q'R'S'.

• The angle measures of trapezoid PQRS are equal to the corresponding angle measures of trapezoid P'Q'R'S'.

Brody played a game where he scored 8 points per hour but was already up by 6 points. Candice played a game and scored 10 points per hour but was already up by 2 points. What is x, the number of hours that Brody and Candice would each have to play the game in order for their scores to be the same?

• 8x + 6 = 10x + 2

• 6x + 8 = 2x + 10

• 8x + 2 = 10x + 6

• 6x + 2 = 10x + 6
