Solve for b:
b - 5 > \( \frac{b}{-8} \)

44% Answer Correctly
b > 4\(\frac{4}{9}\)
b > \(\frac{12}{13}\)
b > -\(\frac{16}{21}\)
b > 3\(\frac{3}{7}\)

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.

b - 5 > \( \frac{b}{-8} \)
-8 x (b - 5) > b
(-8 x b) + (-8 x -5) > b
-8b + 40 > b
-8b + 40 - b > 0
-8b - b > -40
-9b > -40
b > \( \frac{-40}{-9} \)
b > 4\(\frac{4}{9}\)


2

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

46% Answer Correctly

midpoints

bisects

intersects

trisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


3

If side a = 8, side b = 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{26} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{90} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 12
c2 = 64 + 1
c2 = 65
c = \( \sqrt{65} \)


4

If a = c = 1, b = d = 5, and the blue angle = 69°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
10
5
9
15

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 5
a = 5


5

Solve for x:
8x + 2 > -1 + 2x

55% Answer Correctly
x > -1
x > \(\frac{5}{8}\)
x > \(\frac{2}{9}\)
x > -\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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 > sign and the answer on the other.

8x + 2 > -1 + 2x
8x > -1 + 2x - 2
8x - 2x > -1 - 2
6x > -3
x > \( \frac{-3}{6} \)
x > -\(\frac{1}{2}\)
