Kala made 234 for hours of 18 work. At the same rate, how many hours would she have to work to make 117?

Here is their argument. given the obtuse angle x, we make a quadrilateral abcd with ∠dab = x, and ∠abc = 90◦, and ad = bc. say the perpendicular bisector to dc meets the perpendicular bisector to ab at p. then pa = pb and pc = pd. so the triangles pad and pbc have equal sides and are congruent. thus ∠pad = ∠pbc. but pab is isosceles, hence ∠pab = ∠pba. subtracting, gives x = ∠pad−∠pab = ∠pbc −∠pba = 90◦. this is a preposterous conclusion – just where is the mistake in the "proof" and why does the argument break down there?

Which of these equations, when solved, gives a different value of x than the other three? a9.1 = -0.2x + 10 b10 = 9.1 + 0.2x c10 – 0.2x = 9.1 d9.1 – 10 = 0.2x

Which situation can be modeled by the inequality 5 + 10w ≥ 45? a. you start with $5 and save $10 a week until you have at least $45. b. you start with 5 baseball cards and purchase 10 cards every week until you have at most 45 cards. c. you start with 5 water bottles and purchases cases of 10 water bottles each until you have a total of 45 water bottles. d. you spend $5 plus $10 per week until you have less than $45.
