Solve for x:
-x - 3 = \( \frac{x}{-7} \)

46% Answer Correctly
7\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{7}{12}\)
-\(\frac{63}{71}\)
-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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-x - 3 = \( \frac{x}{-7} \)
-7 x (-x - 3) = x
(-7 x -x) + (-7 x -3) = x
7x + 21 = x
7x + 21 - x = 0
7x - x = -21
6x = -21
x = \( \frac{-21}{6} \)
x = -3\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

deconstructing

squaring

normalizing

factoring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


3

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

84% Answer Correctly

Last

First

Inside

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

Solve for b:
-5b - 2 = 8 + 5b

60% Answer Correctly
-1
-\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-5b - 2 = 8 + 5b
-5b = 8 + 5b + 2
-5b - 5b = 8 + 2
-10b = 10
b = \( \frac{10}{-10} \)
b = -1


5

If side x = 7cm, side y = 9cm, and side z = 7cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
29cm
23cm
31cm
38cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 7cm + 9cm + 7cm = 23cm
