If BD = 24 and AD = 28, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
20
9
15
4

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 = 28 - 24
AB = 4


2

Solve for c:
c2 - 5c + 6 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-1 or -5
2 or 3
-2 or -8
9 or 1

Solution

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

c2 - 5c + 6 = 0
(c - 2)(c - 3) = 0

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

If (c - 2) = 0, c must equal 2
If (c - 3) = 0, c must equal 3

So the solution is that c = 2 or 3


3

Solve for z:
4z - 3 < 5 - z

55% Answer Correctly
z < 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
z < -\(\frac{2}{9}\)
z < -2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
z < 1\(\frac{3}{5}\)

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 - 3 < 5 - z
4z < 5 - z + 3
4z + z < 5 + 3
5z < 8
z < \( \frac{8}{5} \)
z < 1\(\frac{3}{5}\)


4

What is 9a - 2a?

80% Answer Correctly
7
7a
11
11a2

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.

9a - 2a = 7a


5

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

41% Answer Correctly
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
y = -x + 0

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 0. 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, 2) and (2, -2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-4}{4} \)
m = -1

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -x + 0
