<p>what about the 2.5 can you explain that</p>

<p>I did a system of equations with the cars and trucks. </p>

<p>So, I did 20x + 6y = 139</p>

<p>and then i did 20x + 3y = 119.5</p>

<p>Then i solved for y and got 3y=19.5
then y= 6.5, but the question asked what was the difference between prices of tickets for trucks and those for cars. So i solve for x and get 4, and thus, 6.5-4=2.5</p>

<p>i got that but the question u posted was with 4y and 2y before so i got confused… sorry for the trouble</p>

<p>wait r u sure it was 20 x because that gives the answer as 1.5 and not 2.5… u may want to check that</p>

<p>Sorry, I’m terrible at remembering the questions :(, but that’s the one</p>

<p>bump!!! need a reply here… @chaoscuber</p>

<p>even the new one u have posted yields the answer 1.5 and not 2.5… i feel as if i got that for my answer</p>

<p>Idk, but i remember getting 2.5 and being spot on, soo</p>

<p>For (2,4,14), I picked this because everything else had 9, which was a subset of A. The question asked for what is a subset of B but not subset A. So I think there is no right answer</p>

<p>Anyone confirm???</p>

<p>bump… @chaosober was it 20x cause i think i got 1.5… and if it was 20 then it is 1.5 and not 2.5</p>

<p>Idk, OH IT WASNT 20x, it was 25x</p>

<p>i remember 20 x though, r u sure???</p>

<p>I’m positive about that, because i remember plugging in 6.5 in the lower equation
25x + 3(6.5) = 119.5
25x + 19.5 = 119.5
25x = 100
x = 4
y - x = 6.5 - 4 = 2.5</p>

<p>Is it just me, or was there a ton of No Error’s in the writing section? I think I got like 5. </p>

<p>And one of the questions had “without the use of mortar”, with “the use of” underlined, I think. Was that wrong?</p>

<p>I got 2-3 no errors, and that wasnt it, it was something else ^</p>

<p>What was the answer to this math question?
An author and a poet sold 410 books total, 40 people bought both of their books, and the author sold 50 more than the poet. How many did the poet sell?
(I think these were the answers)
a.170
b.180
c.190
d.200
e.210</p>

<p>I did not get that question at all, and i remember all of the questions vividly, AND i had math experimental…</p>

<p>my bad. this was a b question.</p>

<p>Was 163 the answer to one of them? (the prime number)</p>

<p>No, it was "which of the following values of n does not produce a prime number when applied to this expression 1+2n^2?
The answer was n=5</p>
