Solve for b:
-8b - 9 < \( \frac{b}{-6} \)

44% Answer Correctly
b < -1\(\frac{7}{47}\)
b < \(\frac{6}{11}\)
b < \(\frac{30}{49}\)
b < -1\(\frac{7}{11}\)

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.

-8b - 9 < \( \frac{b}{-6} \)
-6 x (-8b - 9) < b
(-6 x -8b) + (-6 x -9) < b
48b + 54 < b
48b + 54 - b < 0
48b - b < -54
47b < -54
b < \( \frac{-54}{47} \)
b < -1\(\frac{7}{47}\)


2

What is 8a6 - 8a6?

74% Answer Correctly
0a6
12
64a6
16a12

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.

8a6 - 8a6 = 0a6


3

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

4

3

5

2


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, -1). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -x - 4
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0
y = -2x + 0
y = -x + 1

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 1. 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, 3) and (2, -1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-1.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-4}{4} \)
m = -1

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -x + 1


5

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 15?

71% Answer Correctly
30π
20π
10π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 15)
c = 30π
