8. If x + y < 10, and x - y > 12, which of the following pairs could be the values of x and
y?
If these were equalities, we could find the value of x in terms of y in the first
equation and substitute into the second, to get an equation all in y, then solve for Y and
go back and substitute to find the value of x.
9. If the positive integer x leaves a remainder of 2 when divided by 8, what will the
remainder be when x + 9 is divided by 8?
Note the comma. This is a two part question.

Step 2. Here we need to add some insight of our own. If we divide the 9 itself by 8,
its remainder will be added to the previous remainder, unless their sum is 8 or more (test
by trying to divide that sum by 8). This remainder is the answer!

12 In a downtown building, there are 6 floors and the number of rooms on each floor is
R. If each room has exactly C chairs, which of the following gives the total number of
chairs in the building?
Note that there are 3 sentences. This is a 3 step problem. If you don;t see how to
combine the 3 facts into a single equation, the insight is to try working from the last fact
to the first.
Step 1. Imagine one room with 6 chairs. Then go out into the hall and see that there
are, say 10 rooms on that floor. How many chairs is there on that floor?
Step 2. Now replace 10 with the algebra letter for rooms, R., and the 6 with the
algebraic letter C.
Step 3, now multiply the result by the number of floors with that many rooms that
have that many chairs.

and travels clockwise 183 centimeters along ABCDE, the particle will stop on which
point?
Insight is required. Step1.Starting at A. How many centimeters is one complete trip
around?

15. A business is owned by 9 women and 1 man, each of whom owns an equal share. If
4. one of the women sells 1/2 of her share to the man, and another woman keeps 1/5 of her
share and sells the rest to the man, what fraction of the business will the man own?
There is one period and 3 commas. This is a 4 step problem.
Step1. How many total equal shares are there and what percent of the total does the man
own? https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-sixth-grade-math/cc-6th-ratios-prop-topic/

Step 2. What percent of the total is the 1/2 share the first woman gives the man?
Step 3. What fraction of her one share does the second woman give the man, if she keeps
1/5 of her original share, and what peercent is that fraction of the total?
Step 4. Adding the two given percents of the total to the original percent the man had,
what does he have now? (percent means parts per one hundred.

20. In the sequence 4, 12, 36, x, 324 ... ,what is the most likely value of x?
This requires an insight.
5. The numbers get bigger, so we hve adding or multipling, squaring etc, not
subtracting dividing, square roots, etc.
Is the difference between the first and second numbers added to the second number
to get the third?
Is it multiplied by the second to get the third?
Once you find a sequence between the first two numbers, that holds for getting the
third number, use it to get x and then test it to see if you get the next number after x..
Note that if adding and multiplying don’t work, try raising to a power. That usually is
enough to get the sequence.
