Sandy is upgrading her Internet service. Fast Internet charges $60 for installation and $50.45 per month. Quick Internet has free installation but charges $57.95 per month. The equation that represents this scenario is 60 + 50.45x = 57.95x

• True.

• False.

Choose all of the following options that are possible first steps when solving 2(10 + 12x) = 3 + 9x

• Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

• Distribute the 2 inside the parentheses to 12x

• Subtract 9x from the right side only

• Distribute the 2 inside the parentheses to 10

• Divide by 2 on both sides

Simplify and tell whether the equation has one, zero or infinite solutions.

2(3x - 6) = -12 + 6x

• x = 4; One Solution

• x = -x; No Solution

• 0 = 0; Infinite Solutions

• x = 0; One Solution
