Solve for y:
4y + 2 > \( \frac{y}{8} \)

45% Answer Correctly
y > \(\frac{36}{53}\)
y > -1\(\frac{11}{14}\)
y > -1\(\frac{29}{34}\)
y > -\(\frac{16}{31}\)

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.

4y + 2 > \( \frac{y}{8} \)
8 x (4y + 2) > y
(8 x 4y) + (8 x 2) > y
32y + 16 > y
32y + 16 - y > 0
32y - y > -16
31y > -16
y > \( \frac{-16}{31} \)
y > -\(\frac{16}{31}\)


2

Solve for b:
b2 - b - 6 = 0

59% Answer Correctly
1 or -7
6 or -7
-2 or 3
3 or 3

Solution

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

b2 - b - 6 = 0
(b + 2)(b - 3) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (b + 2) or (b - 3) must equal zero:

If (b + 2) = 0, b must equal -2
If (b - 3) = 0, b must equal 3

So the solution is that b = -2 or 3


3

If BD = 25 and AD = 30, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
8
20
2
5

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 30 - 25
AB = 5


4

If side a = 3, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{58} \)
\( \sqrt{37} \)
\( \sqrt{53} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 72
c2 = 9 + 49
c2 = 58
c = \( \sqrt{58} \)
