Solve for x:
-7x + 3 < 4 - 8x

55% Answer Correctly
x < 1
x < -\(\frac{2}{3}\)
x < -3
x < -1\(\frac{2}{5}\)

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.

-7x + 3 < 4 - 8x
-7x < 4 - 8x - 3
-7x + 8x < 4 - 3
x < 1


2

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

monomial

quadratic

polynomial

binomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


3

If the base of this triangle is 2 and the height is 3, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
3
42
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)
91

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 2 x 3 = \( \frac{6}{2} \) = 3


4

70% Answer Correctly

parallel

equal angle

equal length

right angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


5

Find the value of b:
6b + z = -6
-9b + 2z = -2

42% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{10}{21}\)
-\(\frac{9}{17}\)
1
\(\frac{13}{20}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of z:

6b + z = -6
z = -6 - 6b

then substitute the result (-6 - 6b) into the second equation:

-9b + 2(-6 - 6b) = -2
-9b + (2 x -6) + (2 x -6b) = -2
-9b - 12 - 12b = -2
-9b - 12b = -2 + 12
-21b = 10
b = \( \frac{10}{-21} \)
b = -\(\frac{10}{21}\)
