Solve for x: a(x+b)=c

Is the result rational or irrational? Explain.

• Rational; The sum of two rationals is always rational.

• Irrational; The sum of a rational and an irrational is always irrational.

• Rational; The product of two rationals is always rational.

• Irrational; The product of a nonzero rational and an irrational is always irrational.

• All Real Numbers

• No Solution

• x < -40 or x > -16

• -16 < x < 40

Wyatt and Cindy had met for lunch at a park. After lunch, they both ride their bikes in opposite directions. Wyatt rides at a rate of 12 mph and Cindy rides at a rate of 14 mph. Cindy takes 6 minutes to clean up, then leaves. If c = the number of hours Cindy rides, write an equation to find when they would be 18 miles apart.

• 14c + 12w = 18

• 14c = 12(c+10)

• 14c + 12(c + 0.1)=18

• 14(c - 0.1) + 12c = 18

What are the x- and y-intercepts for the equation 3x + 8y = 5?

• x-intercept = 3/5 and y-intercept = 5/8

• x-intercept = 3/5 and y-intercept = 8/5

• x-intercept = 3/5 and y-intercept = 5/8

• x-intercept = 5/3 and y-intercept = 8/5
