Solve for z:
6z + 1 > \( \frac{z}{6} \)

44% Answer Correctly
z > 3\(\frac{9}{11}\)
z > \(\frac{5}{8}\)
z > \(\frac{2}{3}\)
z > -\(\frac{6}{35}\)

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.

6z + 1 > \( \frac{z}{6} \)
6 x (6z + 1) > z
(6 x 6z) + (6 x 1) > z
36z + 6 > z
36z + 6 - z > 0
36z - z > -6
35z > -6
z > \( \frac{-6}{35} \)
z > -\(\frac{6}{35}\)


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 5. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
154π
44π
90π
240π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(52) + 2π(5 x 4)
sa = 2π(25) + 2π(20)
sa = (2 x 25)π + (2 x 20)π
sa = 50π + 40π
sa = 90π


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 add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct

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.


4

If the base of this triangle is 7 and the height is 4, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
40
28
14
45

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 7 x 4 = \( \frac{28}{2} \) = 14


5

Simplify 2a x 5b.

85% Answer Correctly
10\( \frac{b}{a} \)
10a2b2
7ab
10ab

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.

2a x 5b = (2 x 5) (a x b) = 10ab
