The number line represents numbers that are less than -4 and greater than 4.
Also, since the circles on -4 and 4 are filled in, -4 and 4 are included with the other numbers represented
by the number line.
So, the number line represents the following inequalities.
x < -4 and x > 4
This is equivalent to the inequality |x| > 4.

Solve the inequality to determine the correct graph.
|2x - 6| < 2

The number line represents numbers that are greater than -4 and less than 4.
Also, since the circles on -4 and 4 are open, -4 and 4 are not included with the other numbers
represented by the number line.
So, the number line represents the following inequalities.
x > -4 and x < 4
This is equivalent to the inequality |x| < 4.
10.
When given a double inequality to solve, focus on solving for the x in the middle. Remember that
whatever is done to the expression in the middle must also be done to both the numbers on the outside of
the inequalities.

Since x > -5 and x < 2, the graph will have an open circle at x = -5 and a closed circle at x = 2.
Since the compound inequality is an "AND" inequality, or a conjunction, the graph of the inequality will be
shaded between x = -5 and x = 2.
Therefore, the graph of the given inequality is shown below.

This compound equality solved for x shows that the range for the number of round tables she will need for
her reception is 16 to 22.
15.
Solve each of the inequalities individually to get the correct answer.
4x - 4 > -20 OR -5x < -35
4x > -16
OR
x > 7
x > -4
Since x > -4 includes all the values of x such that x > 7, the correct answer is x > -4.

Let C(x) represent the daily production cost and x represent the number of pairs of skis
manufactured. The daily production cost is equal to the cost per pair of skis plus the fixed costs.
So,
daily production cost = (cost per pair)(# of pairs) + fixed costs
Now, find the cost per pair in order to determine the equation for the daily production cost.
C(x) =
9,900 =
9,000 =
450 =
(cost per pair)x + 900
(cost per pair)(20) + 900
(cost per pair)(20)

The equation for the daily production is given below.
C(x) = 450x + 900

the rate of change, or slope.

The problem states that the plane leaves the ground at 3,958 feet above sea level, and then
climbs 456 feet per minute.
So, set up the function with the plane's cruising altitude equal to the plane's beginning altitude
plus the climbing rate in t minutes from take off.
Cruising Altitude = Initial altitude + (rate of climb per minute)(minutes)
13,990 = 3,958 + 456t

First, set up equations to represent the two water packages.
Let x represent the volume of water used in thousands of gallons. Let y represent the yearly cost
of the plan.
Pay per thousand gallons:
y = ($0.75/thousand gallons)(x thousand gallons)
y = $0.75x
Pay fixed amount:
y = $825,000
Next, set the equations equal to each other, and solve for x.
$0.75x = $825,000.00
x = 1,100,000
Therefore, an industrial user needs to use over 1,100,000 thousand gallons of water a year for
the fixed amount package to be the less expensive option.

First, set up equations that represent the cooking time and the weight of the turkey and the
ham.
Let t represent the weight of the turkey, in pounds, and h represent the weight of the ham, in
pounds.
Algebraic Concepts - Part 2
Cooking time:
(16 min/lb)(t lbs) + (23 min/lb)(h lbs) = 440 min
16t + 23h = 440
Weight:
t lbs = 2(h lbs)
t = 2h
Next, substitute 2h in for t in the first equation, and solve for h.
16(2h) + 23h
32h + 23h
55h
h

Then, substitute 8 in for h in the second equation, and solve for t.
t = 2(8)

Therefore, the turkey weighs 16 pounds, and the ham weighs 8 pounds.

Remember that x represents the number of hours Sydney spends working at the gift shop and
y represents the number of hours Sydney spends babysitting.
First, write an equation for the money Sydney earns and spends on her father's birthday
present.
Algebraic Concepts - Part 2
$7x + $4y - $35 = 0
Next, write an equation for the amount of time Sydney spends working, and rearrange it so that
one side is equal to zero.
x + y = 14
x + y - 14 = 0
Put these together to make a system of equations.
$7x + $4y - $35 = 0
x + y - 14 = 0

Remember that x represents the number of nights spent at the resort and y represents the total
cost of the trip.
Total Cost = Total Cost of Resort + Cost of Airfare
Total Cost = (Cost of Resort per Night × Number of Nights) + Cost of Airfare
Substitute in the information given in the problem for each vacation package.
In the first vacation package, round-trip airfare costs $870, and it costs $151 per night to stay at
the resort.
y = $151x + $870
In the second vacation package, round-trip airfare costs $252, and it costs $654 per night to
Algebraic Concepts - Part 2
stay at the resort.
y = $654x + $252
The following system of equations could be used to find how many nights Paul needs to stay at
either resort so that both vacation packages have the same cost.
y = $151x + $870
y = $654x + $252

First, set up equations to represent the amount of money Paulo spent on sale items and the
number of items he bought.
Let s represent the number of sale items he bought, and let r represent the number of regular
items he bought.
Money spent:
$52.02 + $40.87 = $56.07 - ($0.15/item)(s items) + $42.87 - ($0.10/item)(r items)
$92.89 = $98.94 - $0.15s - $0.10r
$0.15s + $0.10r = $6.05
Number of items:
s=r+7
Next, substitute r + 7 in for s in the first equation, and solve for r.
$0.15s + $0.10r
$0.15(r + 7) + $0.10r
$0.15r + $1.05 + $0.10r
$0.25r + $1.05

Then, substitute 20 in for r in the second equation, and solve for s.
s = r+7
= 20 + 7
= 27
Since Paulo bought 27 sale items and 20 regularly priced items, he bought
27 + 20 = 47 items in all.
