Solve for y:
-9y + 1 > \( \frac{y}{-5} \)

44% Answer Correctly
y > \(\frac{5}{44}\)
y > 1\(\frac{17}{19}\)
y > -\(\frac{4}{19}\)
y > -\(\frac{16}{19}\)

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.

-9y + 1 > \( \frac{y}{-5} \)
-5 x (-9y + 1) > y
(-5 x -9y) + (-5 x 1) > y
45y - 5 > y
45y - 5 - y > 0
45y - y > 5
44y > 5
y > \( \frac{5}{44} \)
y > \(\frac{5}{44}\)


2

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.


3

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

y-axis

all of these

x-axis

origin


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.


4

Simplify (y + 7)(y + 6)

62% Answer Correctly
y2 - y - 42
y2 + 13y + 42
y2 + y - 42
y2 - 13y + 42

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 + 7)(y + 6)
(y x y) + (y x 6) + (7 x y) + (7 x 6)
y2 + 6y + 7y + 42
y2 + 13y + 42


5

90% Answer Correctly

4

2

5

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.
