Solve for y:
-y + 2 < \( \frac{y}{-9} \)

44% Answer Correctly
y < 4\(\frac{2}{7}\)
y < 2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
y < -\(\frac{16}{19}\)
y < -1\(\frac{5}{9}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-y + 2 < \( \frac{y}{-9} \)
-9 x (-y + 2) < y
(-9 x -y) + (-9 x 2) < y
9y - 18 < y
9y - 18 - y < 0
9y - y < 18
8y < 18
y < \( \frac{18}{8} \)
y < 2\(\frac{1}{4}\)


2

If BD = 26 and AD = 30, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
8
3
17
4

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 30 - 26
AB = 4


3

If a = c = 9, b = d = 10, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
56
90
35
3

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 9 x 10
a = 90


4

If side a = 6, side b = 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{37} \)
\( \sqrt{13} \)
\( \sqrt{41} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 12
c2 = 36 + 1
c2 = 37
c = \( \sqrt{37} \)


5

Solve for c:
-8c - 7 > -8 + 9c

55% Answer Correctly
c > -9
c > -1
c > \(\frac{7}{8}\)
c > \(\frac{1}{17}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

-8c - 7 > -8 + 9c
-8c > -8 + 9c + 7
-8c - 9c > -8 + 7
-17c > -1
c > \( \frac{-1}{-17} \)
c > \(\frac{1}{17}\)
