Solve for y:
-8y + 5 = -7 + 3y

60% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{7}\)
-\(\frac{7}{9}\)
1\(\frac{1}{11}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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.

-8y + 5 = -7 + 3y
-8y = -7 + 3y - 5
-8y - 3y = -7 - 5
-11y = -12
y = \( \frac{-12}{-11} \)
y = 1\(\frac{1}{11}\)


2

If a = 3, b = 7, c = 9, and d = 4, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
23
25
22
12

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 3 + 7 + 9 + 4
p = 23


3

If a = c = 4, b = d = 2, and the blue angle = 76°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
25
72
8
36

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 2
a = 8


4

Solve for z:
4z - 5 > \( \frac{z}{9} \)

45% Answer Correctly
z > 1\(\frac{10}{17}\)
z > 1\(\frac{2}{7}\)
z > \(\frac{4}{9}\)
z > 1\(\frac{5}{31}\)

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.

4z - 5 > \( \frac{z}{9} \)
9 x (4z - 5) > z
(9 x 4z) + (9 x -5) > z
36z - 45 > z
36z - 45 - z > 0
36z - z > 45
35z > 45
z > \( \frac{45}{35} \)
z > 1\(\frac{2}{7}\)


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 5) and (2, -3). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
2
1
3
-2

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, 5) and (2, -3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-3.0) - (5.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)
m = -2
