Solve for c:
9c - 9 > \( \frac{c}{-3} \)

45% Answer Correctly
c > \(\frac{27}{28}\)
c > -1\(\frac{1}{7}\)
c > -\(\frac{9}{26}\)
c > -4\(\frac{4}{7}\)

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.

9c - 9 > \( \frac{c}{-3} \)
-3 x (9c - 9) > c
(-3 x 9c) + (-3 x -9) > c
-27c + 27 > c
-27c + 27 - c > 0
-27c - c > -27
-28c > -27
c > \( \frac{-27}{-28} \)
c > \(\frac{27}{28}\)


2

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 4. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
88π
32π
154π
156π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(42) + 2π(4 x 7)
sa = 2π(16) + 2π(28)
sa = (2 x 16)π + (2 x 28)π
sa = 32π + 56π
sa = 88π


4

Simplify 3a x 2b.

86% Answer Correctly
6ab
5ab
6a2b2
6\( \frac{b}{a} \)

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

3a x 2b = (3 x 2) (a x b) = 6ab


5

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

Odd

Inside

First

Last


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.
