Solve for x:
-8x + 1 > -7 - 4x

54% Answer Correctly
x > 2
x > -1
x > -\(\frac{2}{9}\)
x > 6

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.

-8x + 1 > -7 - 4x
-8x > -7 - 4x - 1
-8x + 4x > -7 - 1
-4x > -8
x > \( \frac{-8}{-4} \)
x > 2


2

70% Answer Correctly

equal length

parallel

right angle

equal angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


3

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

Inside

Last

Odd

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.


4

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

origin

x-axis

all of these

y-axis


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.


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 4) and (2, 2). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 4) and (2, 2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(2.0) - (4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)
