1

If a = 2, b = 3, c = 6, and d = 4, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
13
24
20
15

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 2 + 3 + 6 + 4
p = 15


2

Solve for z:
4z - 3 > \( \frac{z}{1} \)

44% Answer Correctly
z > -\(\frac{35}{41}\)
z > \(\frac{24}{47}\)
z > 1
z > -\(\frac{1}{5}\)

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.

4z - 3 > \( \frac{z}{1} \)
1 x (4z - 3) > z
(1 x 4z) + (1 x -3) > z
4z - 3 > z
4z - 3 - z > 0
4z - z > 3
3z > 3
z > \( \frac{3}{3} \)
z > 1


3

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

exponents

division

addition

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


4

What is 5a - 3a?

80% Answer Correctly
15a
2a2
2a
15a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

5a - 3a = 2a


5

If the base of this triangle is 3 and the height is 5, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
84\(\frac{1}{2}\)
97\(\frac{1}{2}\)
42
7\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 3 x 5 = \( \frac{15}{2} \) = 7\(\frac{1}{2}\)
