The official answer explanation is a bit confusing. Can you please explain B)? A truck enters a stretch of road that drops 4 meters in elevation for every 100 meters along the length of the road. The road is at 1300 meters elevation where the truck entered, and the truck is traveling at 16 meters per second along the road. What is the elevation of the road, in meters, at the point where the truck passes t seconds after entering the road? A) 1300-0.04t B) 1300-0.64t C) 1300-4t D)1300-16t

Hi, I have another question

y=600+105x ≤ 750+80x

what is x?

the answer key says it x≤ 6; however, they didn’t change the sign when dividing both sides.

the answer I got was x≥6

(I also wanted to mention that I asked two questions and they are both from the deleted practice test 4. Do you know why practice tests 2 and 4 are deleted? Would it be because there are mistakes?)

Hello; I have a question.

sqrt(x-2)=x-4

what is the solution set of the equation above?

a){3,6} b) {2} c) {3} d) {6}

the answer I got was a) but the answer key said it’s incorrect because 3 is an extraneous solution; however, I don’t understand why it’s an extraneous solution. I plugged in 3 and 6 back into the equation and both worked out.

for plugging in 3:
sqrt(3-2)=3-4 –> sqrt(1)=-1 –> -/+1=-1 does the square root of 1 not include -1?

Hi Sir,

A class X cargo ship can hold a maximum of 18000 standard containers. A class X cargo ship can hold 20 percent more containers than a class Y cargo ship. How many more containers can a class X cargo ship hold than a class Y cargo ship?

How to resolve this question?

Thank you!

Hi Mr. Mcclenathan,

I found this on the No Calc section of the March 2018 SAT, can you solve it the “traditional way” and with shortcuts (if there are any)? (it’s a grid-in question)

Tamika is ordering desktop computers for her company. The desktop computers cost $375 each, and tax is an additional 6% of the total cost of the computers. If she can spend no more than $40,000 on the desktop computers, including tax, what is the maximum number of computers that Tamika can purchase?

Thank you!!
