If
A student is in the process of solving an equation. The original equation and the first step are shown below.
Original: 3a + 6 = 2 - 5a + 7
Step one: 3a + 6 = 2 + 7 - 5a
Which property did the student use for the first step? Explain why this property is correct.

Stephen collected data from a travel website. The data included a hotel’s distance from Times Square in Manhattan and the cost of a room for one weekend night in August. A table containing these data appears below.
Write the linear regression equation for this data set. Round all values to the nearest hundredth.
State the correlation coefficient for this data set, to the nearest hundredth.
Explain what the sign of the correlation coefficient suggests in the context of the problem.
A snowstorm started at midnight. For the first 4 hours, it snowed at an average rate of one-half inch per hour.
The snow then started to fall at an average rate of one inch per hour for the next 6 hours.
Then it stopped snowing for 3 hours.
Then it started snowing again at an average rate of one-half inch per hour for the next 4 hours until the storm was over.
On the set of axes below, graph the amount of snow accumulated over the time interval of the storm.
Determine the average rate of snowfall over the length of the storm. State the rate, to the nearest hundredth of an inch per hour.

Allysa spent $35 to purchase 12 chickens. She bought two different types of chickens. Americana chickens cost $3.75 each and Delaware chickens cost $2.50 each.
Write a system of equations that can be used to determine the number of Americana chickens, A, and the number of Delaware chickens, D, she purchased.
Determine algebraically how many of each type of chicken Allysa purchased.
Each Americana chicken lays 2 eggs per day and each Delaware chicken lays 1 egg per day. Allysa only sells eggs by the full dozen for $2.50. Determine how much money she expects to take in at the end of the first week with her 12 chickens.
