425

<p>What were some of the other choices in the mitigate problem? I remember being conflicted between two but I don’t remember which I chose…</p>

426

<p>For the Uhmma passage, did you guys get something about delight for the one between lines 24-45?</p>

427

<p>I had flipping as an error, because I felt that the way it was worded made it seem that the colors projected on the wall were doing the flipping of the switch.</p>

428

<p>It’s mitigate.
@Funky: Yes!!!</p>

429

<p>In the Uhmma one, there was something about a lullaby, and something about a familiar diversion… I think they were two different questions but seemed very similar.</p>

430

<p>oh crap. I forgot to multiply by 3 for the perimeter question. )$&<em>^)(YTHR(FUHO)&QYQ</em>(@T%&!!</p>

431

<p>@Funky I got that too, I think it referred to the lullaby line!</p>

432

<p>gman 45, both of the questions basically had the same answer: familiar was in both correct answer choices</p>

433

<p>what was the answer for the lullaby one?</p>

434

<p>@dorkyelmo i did that at first, too
can somebody predict -3 CR, -0 M, -2 W</p>

435

<p>Definitely will be getting a score of 175… Dx</p>

436

<p>Wait, for the math problem with the advisor. Isn’t it 30x + 15(x+2) because 30 dollars an hour for each of the hours the “guy” worked, and then 15 dollars an hour for the “advisor”, but he worked 2 hours more (hence the x+2). Where are you guys getting the 45x + 15(X+2)?</p>

437

<p>I’m so confused. For the union one, why is it m+k-4?</p>

<p>Shouldn’t it be m+k-2?</p>

438

<p>@NotElitist, it said the woman made $30 an hour MORE than her employee, not $30 an hour. So she makes $45 an hour.</p>

439

<p>you got the right equation, but the…experienced person was making $45 per hour.</p>

440

<p>It said he worked $30 more than the $15 guy. So he got $45 per hour, you probably read it wrong.</p>

441

<p>m+k-2 will get you all of the terms in the union, but you only want the terms that are in only one set, so you have to subtract the two common terms again.</p>
