8) (ALL WORK REQUIRED)

1) Solve the following equation. −4(𝑥 + 5) − 2𝑥 = 2(𝑥 + 2)

2) Owners of a recreation area are filling a small pond with water. They are adding
water at a rate of 30 liters per minute. There are 400 liters in the pond to start. Let
W represent the amount of water in the pond (in liters), and let T represent the
number of minutes that water has been added. Write a linear equation relating W
to
T. Then determine how many liters are in the pond after 45 minutes.

3) Find the solution of the inequality: −2𝑥 − 1 < −11

Show your solution on a number line.
4) 𝐾=59(𝐹+459.67) is the formula that converts Fahrenheit temperature to
Kelvin. The range of temperature on the planet Mars in the summer is -35ᵒ
Fahrenheit to 62ᵒ Fahrenheit. State the range of the temperatures in Kelvin.
Round decimals to the nearest tenth.

5) A student has test scores of 65%, 77%, and 82% on the 3 midterm exams in
the course. The final exam is worth twice as much as the other exams. What score
is needed for the student to end up with a minimum exam average of 81%?

6) Given the formula A = ½ h ( b1 + b2) . Rewrite this solving for b2 .

(This is the formula for finding the area of a trapezoid…)
