Solve for c:
-7c + 9 < -2 - 8c

55% Answer Correctly
c < 1\(\frac{1}{8}\)
c < -1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
c < -5
c < -11

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.

-7c + 9 < -2 - 8c
-7c < -2 - 8c - 9
-7c + 8c < -2 - 9
c < -11


2

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

90°

360°

45°

180°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


3

Simplify (5a)(9ab) + (5a2)(7b).

65% Answer Correctly
10ab2
168a2b
80a2b
10a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(5a)(9ab) + (5a2)(7b)
(5 x 9)(a x a x b) + (5 x 7)(a2 x b)
(45)(a1+1 x b) + (35)(a2b)
45a2b + 35a2b
80a2b


4

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

4

5

2

3


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


5

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

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

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

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents


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.
