1

Solve for y:
y - 9 < 8 + 8y

55% Answer Correctly
y < -2\(\frac{3}{7}\)
y < -\(\frac{3}{4}\)
y < \(\frac{7}{9}\)
y < 1

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.

y - 9 < 8 + 8y
y < 8 + 8y + 9
y - 8y < 8 + 9
-7y < 17
y < \( \frac{17}{-7} \)
y < -2\(\frac{3}{7}\)


2

If a = c = 5, b = d = 6, and the blue angle = 67°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
15
30
63
48

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 6
a = 30


3

If the base of this triangle is 2 and the height is 1, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
12\(\frac{1}{2}\)
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)
35
1

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 2 x 1 = \( \frac{2}{2} \) = 1


4

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

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral and isosceles

isosceles and right


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.


5

Solve for x:
3x - 3 = \( \frac{x}{-8} \)

46% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{24}{25}\)
\(\frac{27}{82}\)
10\(\frac{1}{8}\)
-\(\frac{8}{13}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

3x - 3 = \( \frac{x}{-8} \)
-8 x (3x - 3) = x
(-8 x 3x) + (-8 x -3) = x
-24x + 24 = x
-24x + 24 - x = 0
-24x - x = -24
-25x = -24
x = \( \frac{-24}{-25} \)
x = \(\frac{24}{25}\)
