Correct Answer: C

To solve the inequality 3x 9 > 1 2x, you need to collect like terms ofxon one side of the inequality and all other values to the other side. You first add 9 to both sides of the inequality:

You then add 2xto both sides of the inequality:

Dividing both sides by 5 yieldsx> 2.

Correct Answer: A

The equation is in the form of a quadratic equationax2 +bx+c= 0, where a = 1, b=2, and c=1. To solve this

problem, you use the quadratic formula or

Correct Answer: B

To determine the probability that a selected card is a ten, you should first note that a card can be selected from a deck inn= 52 different ways. Since there are four ten cards, one ten for each of the four suits, a ten can be drawn from the deck ins= 4 different ways. Thus, the probability that the selected card is a ten is:

Correct Answer: B

Correct Answer: A

Correct Answer: B

Because the two drawings are made from a complete deck of cards, the two events are independent of one another. You first need to determine the probability of drawing a card of twosuits from a deck of cards. Out of a total of 52 cards, there are 13 cards of any suit and 26 cards of a black suit. The probability of drawing a card of a black suit, P(A), is 26/52. Because the first card is replaced before the second drawing, the probability of drawing a card of the same suit, P(B), is also 26/52. Thus, the probability of drawing two cards of the same suit is
