Solve
2. 5x = -25
3. 4x - 6 = 14
3 + 5x = -12
The area of a square piece of wrapping paper is 64 in2. Calculate the length of each side.

2. 1. What is the 25th term in the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, …, 3n-1,…
Position (n) 1 2 3 4
Term 5 8 11
3n - 1
3(25) - 1
= 74
The 25th term is 74.

3. 5x = -25
x = -5
3. 4x - 6 = 14
4x = 20
x = 5
3 + 5x = -12
5x = -15
x = -3

5. Quiz
Trish works for a straight salary of $32,000 a year plus a commission of 4% on the real estate she sells. Which expression could be used to find her yearly income, if x = the total value of real estate sold?
32,000(0.04)x
32,000x + 0.4
32,000 – 0.04x
32, x

6. Which expression can be used?
Trish works for a straight salary of $32,000 a year plus a commission of 4% on the real estate she sells. Which expression could be used to find her yearly income, if x = the total value of real estate sold?
Which expression can be used?
Salary: $32,000
4% commission
x = total real estate sold
To find the amount of commission I would convert the % to a decimal and multiply by the amount of real estate sold (x). To find the total income, I would add the commission with the salary.
Expression D can be used to find the income.
