straight pluggin in for me . as usual , i started with c and got the answer . lets ' back calculate and see what we get let us consider eggs processed each day to be 400 so initial ratio of eggs processed and rejected is 96 : 4 or 24 : 1 so out of 400 eggs , there will be 384 eggs processed and 16 rejected . now if the no . of eggs inspected remain and 12 more eggs get accepted that means there q = 384 + 12 = 396 eggs accepted and 4 rejected . . . and the ratio will be 99 : 1 bingo . . . this is what the questions says . . . . its always a good idea to start with c .

the two lines y = x and x = - 4 intersect on the coordinate plane . if z represents the area of the figure formed by the intersecting lines and the x - axis , what is the side length t of a cube whose surface area is equal to 6 z ?
"800 score official solution : the first step to solving this problem is to actually graph the two lines . the lines intersect at the point ( - 4 , - 4 ) and form a right triangle whose base length and height are both equal to 4 . as you know , the area of a triangle is equal to one half the product of its base length and height : a = ( 1 / 2 ) bh = ( 1 / 2 ) ( 4 × 4 ) = 8 ; so z = 8 . the next step requires us to find the length of a side of a cube that has a face area equal to 8 . as you know the 6 faces of a cube are squares . so , we can reduce the problem to finding the length of the side of a square that has an area of 8 . since the area of a square is equal to s ² , where s is the length of one of its side , we can write and solve the equation s ² = 8 . clearly s = √ 8 = 2 √ 2 , oranswer choice ( d ) ."

find the value of x from the below equation ? : 3 x ^ 2 + 5 x + 2 = 0
"a = 3 , b = 5 , c = 2 x 1,2 = ( - 5 ± √ ( 52 - 4 × 3 × 2 ) ) / ( 2 × 3 ) = ( - 5 ± √ ( 25 - 24 ) ) / 6 = ( - 5 ± 1 ) / 6 x 1 = ( - 5 + 1 ) / 6 = - 4 / 6 = - 2 / 3 x 2 = ( - 5 - 1 ) / 6 = - 6 / 6 = - 1 a"

the h . c . f of two numbers is 23 and the other two factors of their l . c . m are 12 and 13 . the larger of the two numbers is :
"clearly , the numbers are ( 23 * 12 ) and ( 23 * 13 ) . larger number = ( 23 * 13 ) = 299 . answer : a"
a = 23 * 13

two sides of a triangle have lengths x and t and meet at a right angle . if the perimeter of the triangle is 4 x , what is the ratio of x to t ?
ahhhh . . . . my bad . thank you , you ' re correct . 8 x = 6 t - - > x / t = 3 / 4 . actually b is the right answer .
a = 3 / 4
