For example, if the average time enrolled has increased from 4 to 6 years, only 1/6 of the student body will grad...

Mistake in a BTGMAT Flashcard ?
I think I noticed a flashcard in Beat The GMAT flashcards (http://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/free-gmat-prep-flashcards). In Quant>General, in a flashcard name "Percentage" is written: "to drop a percent, divide by 100%: 1/2% * 1/100 = 1/20,000" I would say that: 1/2% = 1/2 * 1/100 =...

The answer. You just need to set two equations:
- D / B = 7/2
- D / (B+6) = 11/4
You then just need to solve for D and B.

If she buys 6 more Blu-ray movies, that ratio would change to 11:4. If she owns movies on no other medium, what was the original number of movies in her lib...

"In the xy plane, at what two points does y = (x + a)(x + b) intersect the x axis? "
So answer is C.

To solve the problem, you need to know the values of a and b. Thus, you will need to equations including a and b. - a. "a+b = -1" is the first equation, but is not enough on its own to solve the problem. - b. allows you to set a second equation: y = (x + a)(x + b) -6 = (0 + a)(0 + b) -6 = ...
