Start is the subject and it should follow the comma to modify whats before it => eliminate a,b,e
Between C & D, D is more concise and clear.

Here is how I approached this question. A. When working with overseas clients, an understanding of cultural norms is at least as important as grasping the pivotal business issues for the global manager. B. When they work with overseas clients, understanding cultural norms is at least of equal import...

No.
I just keep thinking that since I have a 2^2 inside the cube root, I can take it out and solve it one step further...
4^(1/3)=
2^(2/3)=
( 2^(1/3) )^2 =
and more simplification here? (example: 2 sqr 2 )
Maybe i'm over thinking it and the simplest form is 2^(2/3) ??

Thanks GmatGuru,
I see how your approach makes total sense. for the sake of learning the concept tho, can you explain how far I can simplify
4^(1/3)?
I know I can get 2^(2/3) but, for some reason I keep thinking I can simplify it even more. can you explain?

which after hyphen?
Can you have "which" after a hyphen? or it can only come after a comma?
example:
The store has organized a campaign--which used websites, public meetings, and etc...

Thanks limestone,
so,,, for this question... is this the simplified version you would have?
M = 2 + 2(2/3) + 2 (1/2)
or can it be simplified one more step?

I Agree, I don't think the 1 is needed there. all we need is the following.FrozenFire757 wrote:I understand everything else but I can't seem to figure out where the "1" in "(1+1/5)" comes from. Can someone explain?
4 + 6x = (1/5) (4 + 4x) + (4 + 4x)
=> x = 2/3

Perhaps I'm nitpicking, but I think this question is a little unclear. Just because 100 of the red sweaters are NOT wool doesn't mean that the remaining 50 ARE wool. They could be cotton or polyester, or whatever. If it were the other way around it and the question was "how many of the red swe...

thanks Lokesh,
but can't you simply 2^(2/3) one step further to get 2 sqrt 2?
I thought one of the 2's come out of the sqr and one stays inside...

Here is how I approached this question. 1) we can have many solutions to satisfy this (ex: y intercept can be 1 or 2 and we can still get a line that has 3 times the slope ) Eliminate: A & D 2) doesn't help at all... infinite answers Eliminate: B 1+2) Not sufficient: you can have 2 different lin...

I did this a bit different, you might find my way helpful. so I picked the following numbers to get the average of 1.5 for the final solution. x=2 y=2 z=0 This would give us the average of 1.5 for our final solution since its the middle of X and Y now do back solving. we want our end result to be x=...
