Which of the following is the value of x in the equation below

A. x= -4 or x=2

B. x= -2 or x=3

C. x =-2 or x= 4

D. x= -2 or x= 1

Answer Explanation:

we find the value of x by applying the absolute conditions to the given equation.

First, add 2 to both sides of equation

The absolute conditions are:

If , a>0, then u=a or u=-a

In this case a=10, which is greater 0.

The first condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Divide both sides by 4

The second condition becomes

Add 2 to both sides of the equation

Divide both sides by 4

Then, the value of x is 3 or -2.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.

Q #2: There are 1200 students enrolled in four allied health programs at a local community college. The percent students in each program are displayed in the pie chart. Which of the following is the number of students enrolled in the radiologic technology program?

A. 216

B. 504

C. 228

D. 252

Answer Explanation

We are asked to find the number of students enrolled in the radiologic program using the information provided on the pie chart.

If we let x represent the number of students enrolled in the radiologic program, we set a proportion equation with number of students on the numerator and percentages on the denominator.

Total percent in the pie chart adds to 100%, which equals 1200 students. Then, 21% will represent

We solve the value of x by cross-multiplying the equation above.

Therefore, 252 students will enroll for a radiologic program.
Q #3: A circle has an area of 169 π in2. Which of the following is the circumference of the circle in terms of pi ( )?

A. 13 π in

B. 26 π in

C. 7.5 π in

D. 20 π in

Answer Explanation

We need to find the radius of the circle in order to find circumference of the circle. If we let r to be radius of the circle, then

Substituting 169π in place of area

Dividing both sides by pi and taking square root on both sides yields

The radius of the circle from the given area is 13 in. and the circumference of the circle is given by the relation:
