Solve for x:
6x - 6 < \( \frac{x}{5} \)

44% Answer Correctly
x < 1\(\frac{1}{29}\)
x < -2
x < \(\frac{7}{12}\)
x < \(\frac{36}{55}\)

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.

6x - 6 < \( \frac{x}{5} \)
5 x (6x - 6) < x
(5 x 6x) + (5 x -6) < x
30x - 30 < x
30x - 30 - x < 0
30x - x < 30
29x < 30
x < \( \frac{30}{29} \)
x < 1\(\frac{1}{29}\)

If angle a = 66° and angle b = 64° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
156°
112°
114°
119°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 66° - 64° = 50°

So, d° = 64° + 50° = 114°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 66° = 114°


3

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w

lw x wh + lh


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


4

If side x = 10cm, side y = 10cm, and side z = 11cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
40cm
31cm
42cm
39cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 10cm + 10cm + 11cm = 31cm


5

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
