6. John has been driving at 60 miles an hour for 3 hours. How many miles has he traveled so far? If the total distance to his destination is 240 miles, how much farther must John drive?

7. A cellular phone company bills customers $24.95 per month plus $0.20 a minute for each minute of phone time used. These charges can be expressed in a formula: B = $24.95 + ($0.20 M). In this formula, B stands for the total amount of the bill and M stands for the number of minutes used. This month, Carlos used 23 minutes of phone time. What will his total cellular phone bill be?

3) 12

4) 22

5) 103

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

a.  

8(5 + 25) = ?Multiply the 8 times each of the numbers inside the parentheses separately.

8(5) + 8(25) = ?  

40 + 200 = ?Multiply 8 times 5 (8 × 5 = 40). Multiply 8 times 25 (8 × 25 = 200). Add 40 and 200. 240

40 + 200 = 240  

b.  

12(2 − 5) = ?Multiply the 12 times each of the numbers inside parentheses separately.

12(2) − 12(5) = ?  

24 − 60 = ?Multiply 12 times 2 (12 × 2 = 24). Multiply 12 times 5 (12 × 5 = 60). Subtract 60 from 24. −36

24 − 60 = −36  

c.  

3(5 − 12) = ?Multiply the 3 times each of the numbers inside parentheses separately

3(5) − 3(12) = ?  

15 − 36 = ?Multiply 3 times 5 (3 × 5 = 15). Multiply 3 times 12 (3 × 12 = 36). Subtract 36 from 15 (15 − 36 = −21). −21

15 − 36 = −21  

d.  

4 (2 + 1) = ?Multiply the 4 times each of the numbers inside parentheses separately.

4(2) + 4(1) = ?  

8 + 4 = ?Multiply 4 times 2 (4 × 2 = 8). Multiply 4 times 1 (4 × 1 = 4). Add 8 and 4 (8 + 4 = 12). 12

8 + 4 = 12  

2.

y ÷ (−2) + 5 = ?Substitute −10 for y in the equation and solve.

−10 ÷ (−2) + 5 = ?  

−10 ÷ (−2) + 5 = ?Perform the division operation first (−10 ÷ (−2) = 5).

5 + 5 = ?  

5 + 5 = 10Add (5 + 5 = 10). 10

3.

x ÷ 3 + 10 = ?Substitute 6 for x in the equation and solve.

6 ÷ 3 + 10 = ?  

6 ÷ 3 + 10 = ?Perform the division operation first (6 ÷ 3 = 2).

2 + 10 = ?  

2 + 10 = 12Add (2 + 10 = 12). 12

4.

2z + 4 − 6 = ?Substitute 12 for z in the equation and solve.

2(12) + 4 − 6 = ?  

2(12) + 4 − 6 = ?Perform the multiplication operation first (2 × 12 = 24).

24 + 4 − 6 = ?  

24 + 4 − 6 = ?Add and subtract in order from left to right (24 + 4 = 28; 28 − 6 = 22). 22

28 − 6 = ?  

28 − 6 = 22  

5.

6m + 4 ÷ 4 + 11 = ?Substitute 8 for m in the equation and solve.

6(8) + 4 ÷ 4 + 11 = ?  

6(8) + 4 ÷ 4 + 11 = ?Perform the multiplication and division operations in order from left to right. Multiply 6 times 8 (6 × 8 = 48).

48 + 4 ÷ 4 + 11 = ?  

48 + 4 ÷ 4 + 11 = ?Divide (4 ÷ 4 = 1).

48 + 1 + 11 = ?  

48 + 1 + 11 = ?Add in order from left to right (48 + 1 = 49; 49 + 11 = 60).  

49 + 11 = ?  

49 + 11 = 60 60

6.

D = RTSubstitute the values into the distance formula and solve. John drove at a rate of 60 miles per hour, so the value of R is 60. He drove for a total of 3 hours, so the value of T is 3.

D = 60 • 3  

D= 60 • 3Multiply (60 × 3 = 180). The value of D is 180, so John has traveled 180 miles so far.

D = 180  

240 − 180 = 60Now, subtract 180 miles from 240 miles to find out how much farther John must drive to reach his destination. John will have to drive 60 more miles.

7.

B = $24.95 + ($0.20 × M)Carlos used 23 minutes of phone time this month, so substitute 23 for M in the formula and solve.

B = $24.95 + ($0.20 × 23)  

B = $24.95 + ($0.20 × 23)Perform the operation in parentheses ($0.20 × 23 = $4.60).

B = $24.95 + $4.60  

B = $24.95 + $4.60Perform the addition ($24.95 + $4.60 = $29.55).  

B = $29.55 Carlos’ cellular phone bill for the month is $29.55.
