Solve for a:
8a - 5 > 8 + 7a

55% Answer Correctly
a > \(\frac{2}{9}\)
a > 13
a > 1\(\frac{1}{8}\)
a > -\(\frac{1}{4}\)

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.

8a - 5 > 8 + 7a
8a > 8 + 7a + 5
8a - 7a > 8 + 5
a > 13

What is 5a + 6a?

81% Answer Correctly
11a
-1
30a2
11a2

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 + 6a = 11a


3

If a = c = 7, b = d = 8, and the blue angle = 55°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
9
2
21
56

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 8
a = 56


4

Simplify (y - 1)(y + 9)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 + 8y - 9
y2 - 8y - 9
y2 + 10y + 9
y2 - 10y + 9

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 1)(y + 9)
(y x y) + (y x 9) + (-1 x y) + (-1 x 9)
y2 + 9y - y - 9
y2 + 8y - 9
