Solve for x:
2x - 7 > \( \frac{x}{-7} \)

44% Answer Correctly
x > 3\(\frac{4}{15}\)
x > -\(\frac{9}{10}\)
x > -1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
x > \(\frac{8}{63}\)

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.

2x - 7 > \( \frac{x}{-7} \)
-7 x (2x - 7) > x
(-7 x 2x) + (-7 x -7) > x
-14x + 49 > x
-14x + 49 - x > 0
-14x - x > -49
-15x > -49
x > \( \frac{-49}{-15} \)
x > 3\(\frac{4}{15}\)


2

Solve for x:
x2 + 3x - 54 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-2 or -6
6 or -9
-2 or -8
-9 or -9

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

x2 + 3x - 54 = 0
(x - 6)(x + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x - 6) or (x + 9) must equal zero:

If (x - 6) = 0, x must equal 6
If (x + 9) = 0, x must equal -9

So the solution is that x = 6 or -9


3

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

rhombus

triangle

trapezoid

quadrilateral


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


4

If angle a = 49° and angle b = 20° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
63°
105°
111°
89°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 49° - 20° = 111°


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 3. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
272π
252π
42π
288π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(32) + 2π(3 x 4)
sa = 2π(9) + 2π(12)
sa = (2 x 9)π + (2 x 12)π
sa = 18π + 24π
sa = 42π
