Thanks

For Q8,
My translation of stmt 1: 10(d) is a factor of 30!
==>so then wouldn't that give me the value for D?
correct answer is C



Q9,
stmt 1: if both x-intercepts are (+), then wouldn't the slopes have the same sign?

Q9

(1) positive x intercept could mean one line has positive y, the other negative -- not enough

(2) enough; negative y and positive point (4,3) means both have a positive slope

B

Is B the correct answer? Please confirm
