The greatest common factor (GCF) of 2 monomials is 3x²y. One of the monomials is 3x⁴y. Which could be the other monomial?

• 3xy²

• 6x²y³

• 9x⁶y²

• 18x⁶y²

Simplify: (3x² + 2x - 8) - (-x² + 6x + 4)

• 2x² + 8x - 4

• 2x² + 8x - 12

• 4x² + 8x - 4

• 4x² - 4x - 12

In an experiment, a plant grows 0.05 centimeter per day. The plant had a height of 2 centimeters when the experiment started. Which equation describes the relationship between the number of days (d) the experiment lasts and the height (h), in centimeters, of the plant?

• h = 0.05d + 2

• h = 0.05(2) + d

• h = 2d + 0.05

• h = 2.05d

Juanita used the steps shown below to correctly solve an equation. A step is missing. Which shows the equation that is most likely a missing step and the property that justifies the step?

• -3c - 6 + 4c = 10c + 9; associative property of addition

• -3c + 18 + 4c = 10c + 45; associative property of addition

• -3c - 6 + 4c = 10c + 9; distributive property

• -3c + 18 + 4c = 10c + 45; distributive property

A cleaning service offers its customers a choice between two plans. Plan A costs $3,000 and includes 1 year of an unlimited number of cleanings. Plan B costs $75 per cleaning. Henry wants to choose the less expensive plan. He uses the inequality 3,000 < 75c to decide which plan to choose based on the number of cleanings (c) he expects to need. Based on the solution of the inequality, which statement about Henry's choice of plan is true?

• Henry should choose Plan A only if he expects to need fewer than 40 cleanings in 1 year.

• Henry should choose Plan A only if he expects to need more than 40 cleanings in 1 year.

• Henry can choose either plan and pay the same amount if he expects to need fewer than 40 cleanings in 1 year.

• Henry can choose either plan and pay the same amount if he expects to need more than 40 cleanings in 1 year.
