1

Solve for c:
3c - 5 > 8 + 2c

55% Answer Correctly
c > -\(\frac{2}{3}\)
c > -1
c > 13
c > -4

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.

3c - 5 > 8 + 2c
3c > 8 + 2c + 5
3c - 2c > 8 + 5
c > 13


2

Solve for y:
y - 1 > \( \frac{y}{4} \)

44% Answer Correctly
y > -6\(\frac{2}{5}\)
y > -4\(\frac{1}{5}\)
y > -\(\frac{24}{49}\)
y > 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)

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.

y - 1 > \( \frac{y}{4} \)
4 x (y - 1) > y
(4 x y) + (4 x -1) > y
4y - 4 > y
4y - 4 - y > 0
4y - y > 4
3y > 4
y > \( \frac{4}{3} \)
y > 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)


3

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

76% Answer Correctly

problem

formula

expression

equation


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.


4

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


5

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).
