There are 15 balls in a box: 8 balls
are green, 4 are blue and 3 are
white. Then 1 green and 1 blue
balls are taken from the box and
put away. What is the probability
that a blue ball is selected at
random from the box?
Solution
If 1 green and 1 blue ball are taken from the box, then there are 7 green, 3
blue and 3 white balls, a total of 13 balls. If one ball is selected at random,
the probability that it is blue is given by
3 / 13

The length of a rectangle is 3 times its
width. If the width of the rectangle is
5 inches, what is the rectangle's area,
in square inches? Area Formula = L x W
3(w) in
5 in
Solution
If the width is 5 in and the length is 3 times the width, then the length is 3 *
5 = 15 in; The area is given by
5 * 15 = 75 in2 .
For all x >2,
(2x2 + 2x - 12) / (x - 2)
simplifies to ?
Solution
1st) factor: 2x2 + 2x – 12
2nd) GCF: 2(x2 + x - 6)
3rd) factor: (x2
+ x - 6) (don’t forget to carry 2 along)
2(x + 3)(x - 2)
4th) Simplify:
[ 2(x + 3)(x - 2) ] / (x - 2) =
2(x + 3)

If the hypotenuse of a right triangle is
10 inches long and one of its legs is 5
inches long, how long is the other leg?
Solution
Let x be the length of second leg and apply Pythagoras theorem as follows:
102 = 52 + x2
Solve for x
x = √(100 - 25) = √75 =
5 √3 in

When graphed in the (x,y)
coordinate plane, at what point do
the lines 2x + 3y = 5 and x = -2
intersect?
Solution
To find the point of intersection of two lines, we need to solve the system of equations made
up of the equations of the lines. We need to solve the following system of equations.
2x + 3y = 5 and x = - 2
Substitute x by -2 in the equation 2x + 3y = 5 and solve for y.
2(-2) + 3y = 5
3y = 9
y=3
The two lines intersect at (-2 , 3).

If you drove at average speed of 66
miles per hour, what distance, in
miles, did you drive in 99
minutes?
Solution
We first convert the speed into miles per minute.
66 / 60 = 1.2 miles per minute
We now use the speed and the time to find the distance.
1.2 (miles/minute) * 99 minutes = 108.9 miles
