Solve for x:
9x - 7 > \( \frac{x}{8} \)

44% Answer Correctly
x > \(\frac{4}{17}\)
x > \(\frac{9}{14}\)
x > -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
x > \(\frac{56}{71}\)

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.

9x - 7 > \( \frac{x}{8} \)
8 x (9x - 7) > x
(8 x 9x) + (8 x -7) > x
72x - 56 > x
72x - 56 - x > 0
72x - x > 56
71x > 56
x > \( \frac{56}{71} \)
x > \(\frac{56}{71}\)

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h

4π r2

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


4

If side x = 13cm, side y = 5cm, and side z = 12cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
30cm
41cm
33cm
23cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 13cm + 5cm + 12cm = 30cm


5

If a = 7, b = 6, c = 9, and d = 3, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
19
18
21
25

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 7 + 6 + 9 + 3
p = 25
