1

If a = 9, b = 4, c = 5, and d = 1, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
10
19
15
31

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 9 + 4 + 5 + 1
p = 19


2

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

91% Answer Correctly

y-axis

origin

x-axis

all of these


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


3

Solve for b:
-9b - 8 < \( \frac{b}{-6} \)

44% Answer Correctly
b < -\(\frac{48}{53}\)
b < 1\(\frac{25}{31}\)
b < -\(\frac{35}{41}\)
b < 1\(\frac{5}{31}\)

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.

-9b - 8 < \( \frac{b}{-6} \)
-6 x (-9b - 8) < b
(-6 x -9b) + (-6 x -8) < b
54b + 48 < b
54b + 48 - b < 0
54b - b < -48
53b < -48
b < \( \frac{-48}{53} \)
b < -\(\frac{48}{53}\)


4

Solve -8a + 3a = 6a + 6y - 1 for a in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{5}{7}\)y + \(\frac{1}{7}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)y + 1
\(\frac{3}{5}\)y - \(\frac{2}{5}\)
-\(\frac{3}{14}\)y + \(\frac{1}{14}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (a) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-8a + 3y = 6a + 6y - 1
-8a = 6a + 6y - 1 - 3y
-8a - 6a = 6y - 1 - 3y
-14a = 3y - 1
a = \( \frac{3y - 1}{-14} \)
a = \( \frac{3y}{-14} \) + \( \frac{-1}{-14} \)
a = -\(\frac{3}{14}\)y + \(\frac{1}{14}\)


5

Simplify (9a)(2ab) + (7a2)(4b).

65% Answer Correctly
121a2b
46ab2
46a2b
10ab2

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.

(9a)(2ab) + (7a2)(4b)
(9 x 2)(a x a x b) + (7 x 4)(a2 x b)
(18)(a1+1 x b) + (28)(a2b)
18a2b + 28a2b
46a2b
