<p>Its the first one 35?</p>

3

<p>No, the answer is 140</p>

4

<p>The first question is so poorly worded I won’t even attempt a solve.</p>

<p>2.) The answer is C. Sqrt of 5*2. Solve it by first finding the area of the square, 100. 1/5 of that is the area of the triangle. Triangle area is 20. Area = 1/2 Base * Height. The base and height are distances so plug in the distance formula for them. </p>

<p>Area=1/2<em>sqrt((10-10+2a)^2)</em>sqrt((0-a)^2)</p>

<p>Solving for a gets you plus or minus 4.47 which is also known as the sqrt of 5*2.</p>

<p>What book were these questions out of?</p>

6

<ol>
<li>B. This one is simple enough.</li>
</ol>

<p>That’s all for me folks.</p>

7

<p>For 2 I think it’s C.</p>

8

<p>3 is E.
4 is B.
5 is 4.</p>

9

<p>@SheepGetKilled I don’t think it’s poorly worded, I just think it’s one of those questions that need logical reasoning, this is how far i went but i couldn’t proceed</p>

<p>X= number of workers</p>

<p>5x+15 and 7(x-5) I don’t know what to do next</p>

<p>@Syndekit You got them all right but, can you tell me how you solved the one with the temperature?</p>

<p>@SimplyBMW first one, I searched in google hardest level sat math questions. the others are from the online course.</p>

<p>The answers are

  1. 140
  2. C
  3. E
  4. B
  5. 4</p>
10

<p>These ■■■■■■■■ problems wont show up on the SAT.</p>

<p>Number 1 was written by a 2 year old</p>

11

<p>How is the first one not 35?
5*7=35. And none are left over.
Is there explanation anywhere.</p>

12

<p>@Shaggy007 he said the answer is 140, I think this is how you solve it</p>

<p>5x+15 = 7(x-5)</p>

<p>5x+15 = 7x-35</p>

<p>15+35 = 2x
50 = 2x x= 25</p>

<p>If you substitute x in any of the two equations, you get 140</p>

13

<p>^No that’s wrong because the problem is wrong. I searched it up, and the correct question is supposed to be:</p>

<p>A small company has some free movie tickets to distribute to its employees. If each employee gets 5 tickets, there will be 15 left over. “If 5 employees decide not to take any tickets, all the other employees will receive 7 tickets, and none will be left over.”
How many tickets does the company have?
The part in quotations was incorrectly stated in the OP.
