74% Answer Correctly

factoring

deconstructing

normalizing

squaring


Solution

2

Solve for a:
-9a - 3 > -4 - a

54% Answer Correctly
a > 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
a > \(\frac{1}{8}\)
a > 3
a > -3\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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.

-9a - 3 > -4 - a
-9a > -4 - a + 3
-9a + a > -4 + 3
-8a > -1
a > \( \frac{-1}{-8} \)
a > \(\frac{1}{8}\)


3

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 10?

70% Answer Correctly
10π
34π
22π
11π

Solution

4

What is 8a - 9a?

79% Answer Correctly
17a2
-1a
-1
a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

8a - 9a = -1a
