For example, if only the first two statements were true, the answer would be 12. (4) (8) (15) (16) (23) (42) The number 0 is a natural number, but not a whole number. a(b + c) = ab + ac is an example of the Distributive Property. 3x + 2 y = 5 and 9 x + 6 y = 5 are parallel lines.

Algebra I Team: Question #7

Saiem and Tushar are pretending to be scientists by inventing their own thermometers, each with a unique temperature scale that does not use either Celsius or Fahrenheit. When the two thermometers are both placed in a cup of boiling water, the Saiem Thermometer reads 0 S and the Tushar Thermometer reads 100 T. When the two thermometers were placed in a cup of ice water, the Tushar Thermometer reads 50 T and Saiem Thermometer reads 100 S. If the relationship between the two scales is linear and both thermometers were placed in the same cup of unknown liquid, what would the Tushar Thermometer show (in T) when the Saiem Thermometer reads 50 S?

Algebra I Team: Question #9

Vivek and Suchandan are playing a game with a ball and two hoops. Each time a ball is thrown into the red hoop, the thrower gets 1.5 points. Each time the ball is thrown into the green hoop, the thrower gets 3 points. If the player misses, he loses 4 point. Vivek started the game with 20 points, while Suchandan started with only 10. Each round consists of each player making 5 attempts, and the scores are tallied at the end of each round. In Round 1, Vivek made the shot into the green hoop three times and missed the rest, while Suchandan made the red hoop four times and missed the rest. Assuming that these results repeat every round, after what round will Suchandan overtake Vivek in points, if at all?

If Louie joins in, and the three of them take 2 hours to clean two equal-size pools, let A be the time (in hours) that it takes Louie to clean a pool by himself. B: Joseph can completely drain a pool by sucking water through a large straw in 10 hours, while Louie can empty the pool with a small pail in just 5 hours. Naonao can completely fill up the same pool using a water hose in 2 hours. If the pool starts out empty, and Joseph, Louie, and Naonao are all performing their respective actions, let B be the time (in hours) it will take for the pool to fill up. Find (A/B).
