<p>Has anyone gotten their QAS yet for the January 2012 SAT?</p>
<p>Has anybody received the January, 2012 QAS ?</p>
<h1>Yes</h1>
<p>I need a non-algebra, wise guy/gal think out of the box sorta way to solve the following problem. I can’t unlock how to back-door it. Is there an easy, smarty-pants way to solve the following problem. I know the correct answer is 3 but how & why</p>
<p>Question: If 2x + 2x + 2x = 12, what is the value of 2x - 1?</p>
<p>A 2
B 3
C 4
D 5
E 6</p>
<p>I think this question is a basic question of math. Let me help you ^^
You have 2x + 2x + 2x = 12, then you add them up, and you will get 6x = 12
Divide both side by 6, and you will get x = 2
Then, put x = 2 into the equation 2x - 1 , you will get 2(2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3</p>
<p>So… you want an algebra approach do you…</p>
<p>2x times 3 is 6x, then you get x = 2</p>
<p>2 times x is 4, and 4 minus one is 3</p>
<p>Tada !!</p>
<p>6x = 12, therefore x = 2. 2(2)-1 = 3</p>
<p>^The solutions above are all correct and straight-forward.<br>
For something less algebra-like:</p>
<p>Three identical packets add up to 12. What’s in each packet? What’s one less than what’s in each packet…</p>
<p>Or here’s another way, less efficient but still algebra-free: Just use trial and error until you find an x value that “fits”. You’ll soon see that x = 2. Then find 2x-1.</p>
<p>“An odd friendship” in certain respects, she being an outdoor enthusiast and he a dedicated bookworm.</p>
<p>Does anyone kno y the answer is “Theirs was an odd friendship”?</p>
<p>I suspect it has something to do with the clauses.</p>
<p>“she being an outdoor enthusiast and he a dedicated bookworm,” is not a complete sentence in itself and must be preceded by an independent clause.</p>
<p>“Theirs was an odd friendship” is probably the only choice that is both a complete sentence and fits logically in context - that is, the second dependent clause should elaborate on the independent clause.</p>
<p>I was just looking mine over and it says that question 24 from a reading section was dropped. Any of you remember which question it was? It doesn’t include it in the packet.</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten mine yet. Where do y’all live and when did you get it?</p>
<p>I still haven’t gotten mine either. Slow collegeboard is slow.</p>
<p>Maybe I’m just tired, but is there a way to still order the QAS online? I can’t seem to find the link/button for it.</p>
<p>Here ya go…</p>

<p>Be prepared to wait…I ordered mine with the test registration and it’s not here yet:(</p>
<p>CT, NJ, NY, and NYC are getting their QASs slowly but steadily this week.</p>
<p>Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin used x-rays to discover the chemical structures of pencilin and vitamin B12, (winning a Noble Prize for her work)</p>
<p>whats wrong with :
-her work having won a Noble prize for her
-this work won her a Noble prize</p>
<p>The first is unnecessarily wordy, and the second involves a comma splice.</p>
<p>why (winning a Noble Prize for her work)
is not a misplaced modifier since it modifies Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin</p>
<p>???</p>
