Concept #5 Interpreting an Equation
These questions can be very tricky. They are usually linear equations. Understanding slope and
y-intercept in a real-world context can help you get these right.
Let’s illustrate with an example:
Sammy sold $100 worth of cookies at her school’s bake sale, where c represents the number
of chocolate chip cookies sold and p represents the number of peanut butter cookies sold. Here
is the equation that represents this scenario:
3c + 2p = 100
What do the following represent:
3: _________________________
2: __________________________
3c: __________________________
2p: __________________________
Notice that your answer changes, depending on if they ask for just part of the term (i.e. ‘3’)
versus the entire term (i.e. ‘3c’).

Concept #6 Inequalities
What you need to know
1. When you solve an inequality, if you have to multiply or divide by a negative number, you
must flip the sign.
Example: − 3𝑥 ≤ 9
2. To figure out which way to shade an inequality, use test point (0,0). This means you put in 0
for x and 0 for y.
a. If it works ⇨shade towards the origin.
b. If it doesn’t work ⇨ shade away from the origin.
3. The solution set of a system of inequalities is where the shaded regions combine:
4. Strategy: Type the inequalities into Desmos!

EXPLANATIONS:
1. The Answer is B. The graph goes Down, making the slope negative. The intercept is
positive, and looks roughly at 10.
2. The Answer is C. Solve for X and Y (You can do by hand or use desmos). From here, plug
in X and Y into the equation 2x-Y to get you C.
3. The Answer is D. Same slope and intercept, one line is just 3x as big. This means they
are always overlapping, so infinitely many!
4. The Answer is B. Using desmos and plugging it in, you can see the lines only cross at
one point.
5. The Answer is D. If you rent the scooter for 8 hours, you must subtract one of the hours
because of the initial $10 fee. The remaining 7 hours will then be 3 dollars, which is why
you multiply by 3.
6. The Answer is A. Using Desmos, see what area has both overlapping colors. This would
be (0,1). Plugging in the coordinates into the equations, A is the only answer that is true.
7. Choice A is correct. A solution to a system of equations must satisfy each equation in
the system. It follows that if an ordered pair is a solution to the system, the point lies on
the graph in the xy-plane of each equation in the system. The only point that lies on each
graph of the system of two linear equations shown is their intersection point . It follows
that if a new graph of three linear equations is created using the system of equations
shown and the graph of , this system has either zero solutions or one solution, the point
(8.2) . Substituting for and for in the equation yields 8+4(2) = -16 or 16 = -16. Since this
equation is not true, the point does not lie on the graph of x+4y=-16. Therefore, (8.2) is not
a solution to the system of three equations. It follows that there are zero solutions to this
system.
8. Choice B is correct. If you rearrange the second equation to get y by itself, you get y=
6x+22. We know 6x+18 does not equal 6x+22. We have the same coefficients, but different
constants, so this will get us no solution.
www.strategictestprep.com ♟️ 1-833-300-PREP (7737) ♟️[email protected] 46
Choice A is incorrect. The equation and the given equation represent the same line in the
xy- plane. Therefore, a system of these linear equations would have infinitely many
solutions.
Choice C is incorrect. The equation and the given equation represent lines in the
xy-plane that are distinct and not parallel. Therefore, a system of these linear equations
would have exactly one solution, rather than no solution.
Choice D is incorrect. The equation and the given equation represent lines in the
xy-plane that are distinct and not parallel. Therefore, a system of these linear equations
would have exactly one solution, rather than no solution.
9. Choice D is correct. For a linear equation in a form to have no solutions, the x-terms
must have equal coefficients and the remaining terms must not be equal. Expanding the
right-hand side of the given equation yields 9x+5=ax+ab. Inspecting the x-terms, 9 must
equal a, so statement I must be true. Inspecting the remaining terms, 5 can’t equal 9b .
Dividing both of these quantities by 9 yields that b can’t equal 5/9. Therefore, statement
III must be true. Since b can have any value other than 5/9, statement II may or may not
be true.
10. Choice C is correct. It's given from the graph that the points (0, 7) and (8, 0) lie on the
line. Using the slope formula, you get m= -⅞. It’s also given that the point (d, 4) lies on the
line. Using this point and one of the other points and putting into the slope equation,
you get:
(0-4)/(8-d) = -⅞.
Multiplying both sides by 8-d, you get
-7/8*(8-d) = -4.
Then, simplifying to solve for d, you get
-7 + 7/8d = -4
7/8d = 3.
d = 24/7.

Probability just requires common sense and choosing the correct number to put in the
numerator and the denominator.
# ⇐ What they want the probability of
# ⇐ What you’re selecting randomly from
Tricky Types of Probability Questions
1. Probability with an “and” (i.e. What is the probability that a student will play basketball and
baseball)? = Multiply
2. Probability with an “or” (i.e. What is the probability that a student will play basketball or
baseball?) = Add
3. Conditional probability - if you see a given statement, you may need to eliminate some
group(s) in order to satisfy the condition. This will change both your numerator and
denominator!

Concept #3: Ratios
What you need to know
Ratios are basically proportions of things, for instance 3 parts water to 2 parts oil.
How can you write that ratio?
1. ____________ or 2._________________
You can use the ratio given to set up a proportion and solve.
***Remember, if you have 3 parts water to 2 parts oil, you have 5 total parts! So,
often, 5 will go in the denominator when you’re setting up your proportion.
Example: There are 3 parts water to 2 parts oil. If a total of 11,386 gallons of water
and oil are used, how many gallons of oil are needed?
________ = ________
Rates are also ratios. If you see “per” in the problem, you can probably write the
relationship as a ratio!
Example: The cheetah runs 55 miles per hour.
Ratio: __________

What you need to know
How to decrease Margin of Error?
A) Change the tool you’re using
B) Try more experiments
C) Increase the sample size
D) Decrease the sample size
Answer: __________
How to calculate the Margin of Error
If there is a 3% margin of error and it was estimated that 21% of a 100,000
population has susceptibility to a disease, then you will calculate:
21% - 3% = 18% of the population for the lower limit
and
21% + 3% = 24% of the population for the upper limit
100,000(.18) = ___________ and 100,000(.24) = ___________
so, the population that is susceptible to the disease is likely to be anywhere between
these two numbers given the margin of error.

Answer Explanations
1. The correct answer is 5/7 . It is given that no contestant received the same score on two
different days, so each of the contestants who received a score of 5 is represented in the
“5 out of 5” column of the table exactly once. Therefore, the probability of selecting a
contestant who received a score of 5 on Day 2 or Day 3, given that the contestant
received a score of 5 on one of the three days, is found by dividing the total number of
contestants who received a score of 5 on Day 2 or Day 3 (2+3 = 5) by the total number of
contestants who received a score of 5, which is given in the table as 7. So the probability
is 5/7 . Note that 5/7, .7142, .7143, and 0.714 are examples of ways to enter a correct answer.
2. Choice D is correct. Since 1 minute = 60 seconds and 1 hour = 60 minutes, it follows that 1
hour = (60)(60), or 3,600 seconds. Using this conversion factor, the space station’s average
speed of 4.76 miles per second is equal to an average speed of
or 17,136 miles per hour.
Choice A is incorrect. This is the space station’s average speed in miles per minute.
Choice B is incorrect. This is double the space station’s average speed in miles per
minute, or the number of miles the space station travels on average in 2 minutes. Choice
C is incorrect. This is triple the space station’s average speed in miles per minute, or the
number of miles the space station travels on average in 3 minutes.
3. Choice A is correct. The data point with x=1 has a y-coordinate of 12. The y-value
predicted by the line of best fit at x=1 is approximately 11. The difference between the
y-coordinate of the data point and the y-value predicted by the line of best fit at x=1 is
12-11, or 1.
Choices B and C are incorrect and may result from incorrectly reading the scatterplot.
Choice D is incorrect. This is the y-coordinate of the data point at x=1.
4. Choice C is correct. The median of a data set represented in a box plot is represented
by the vertical line within the box. It follows that the median mass of the gazelles in group
www.strategictestprep.com ♟️ 1-833-300-PREP (7737) ♟️[email protected] 146
1 is 25 kilograms, and the median mass of the gazelles in group 2 is 24 kilograms. Since 25
kilograms is greater than 24 kilograms, the median mass of group 1 is greater than the
median mass of group 2.
Choice A is incorrect. The mean mass of each of the two groups cannot be determined
from the box plots. Choice B is incorrect. The mean mass of each of the two groups
cannot be determined from the box plots. Choice D is incorrect and may result from
conceptual or calculation errors.
5. The correct answer is 8. The 6 students represent
of those invited to join the committee. If x people were invited to join the committee, then
0.15x=6 . Thus, there were people invited to join the committee. It follows that
there were 0.45(40)=18 teachers and 0.25(40) = 10 school and district administrators invited
to join the committee. Therefore, there were 8 more teachers than school and district
administrators invited to join the committee.
6. Choice B is correct. Selecting a sample of a reasonable size at random to use for a
survey allows the results from that survey to be applied to the population from which the
sample was selected, but not beyond this population. In this case, the population from
which the sample was selected is all fourth-grade students at a certain school. Therefore,
the results of the survey can be applied to all fourth-grade students at the school.
Choice A is incorrect. The results of the survey can be applied to the 40 students who
were surveyed. However, this isn’t the largest group to which the results of the survey can
be applied. Choices C and D are incorrect. Since the sample was selected at random from
among the fourth-grade students at a certain school, the results of the survey can’t be
applied to other students at the school or to other fourth-grade students who weren’t
represented in the survey results. Students in other grades in the school or other
fourth-grade students in the country may feel differently about announcements than the
fourth-grade students at the school.
7. Choice A is correct. The mode is the data value with the highest frequency. So for the
data shown, the mode is 18. The median is the middle data value when the data values
are sorted from least to greatest. Since there are 20 ages ordered, the median is the
average of the two middle values, the 10th and 11th, which for these data are both 19.
Therefore, the median is 19. The mean is the sum of the data values divided by the
number of the data values. So for these data, the mean is
Since the mode is 18, the median is 19, and the mean is 20, mode<median<mean.
Choices B and D are incorrect because the mean is greater than the median. Choice C is
incorrect because the median is greater than the mode.

Alternate approach: After determining the mode, 18, and the median, 19, it remains to
determine whether the mean is less than 19 or more than 19. Because the mean is a
balancing point, there is as much deviation below the mean as above the mean. It is
possible to compare the data to 19 to determine the balance of deviation above and
below the mean. There is a total deviation of only 6 below 19 (the 6 values of 18); however,
the data value 30 alone deviates by 11 above 19. Thus the mean must be greater than 19.
8. Choice D is correct. It’s given that there are 7 red, 4 white, 33 blue, and 33 yellow cubes
in the bag. Therefore, there are a total of 7+4+33+33 , or 77, cubes in the bag. If the cube is
neither blue nor yellow, then it must be either red or white. Therefore, the probability of
selecting a cube that is neither blue nor yellow is equivalent to the probability of
selecting a cube that is either red or white. If one of these cubes is selected at random,
the probability of selecting a cube that is either red or white is equal to the sum of the
number of red cubes and white cubes divided by the total number of cubes in the bag.
There are 7 red cubes, 4 white cubes, and 77 total cubes in the bag. Therefore, the
probability of selecting a red or white cube is (7+4)/77, which is equivalent to 11/77, or 1/7 .
Thus, if one cube is selected at random, the probability of selecting a cube that is neither
blue nor yellow is .

Concept # 2 Similar Triangles
What you need to know
Similar triangles have the same angle measures, but are different sizes in proportion to each
other.
There are two ways to solve for the length of a side of a similar triangle
STRATEGY #1: Say you are using the picture above to solve for side EF. You know AC = 10,
AB = 20, and EG = 40. Set up a proportion, such as:
𝑆𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑇𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒 20 ⬚
𝐵𝑖𝑔 𝑇𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒
= 40
= ⬚
STRATEGY #2: Use your scrap paper as a ruler, hold it up to the screen, and measure the side
length using another side length you already know
Watch this YouTube video to see how to do this SCRAP PAPER AS A RULER strategy!
BONUS STRATEGY #3: Make sure to DRAW A PICTURE if they do not give you one!
