1

If side x = 9cm, side y = 13cm, and side z = 8cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
30cm
39cm
24cm
22cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 9cm + 13cm + 8cm = 30cm


2

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

pairs

exponents

division

addition


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


3

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

deconstructing

factoring

normalizing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.

Solve for b:
-9b + 5 = -2 + 2b

59% Answer Correctly
-4
-\(\frac{1}{6}\)
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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-9b + 5 = -2 + 2b
-9b = -2 + 2b - 5
-9b - 2b = -2 - 5
-11b = -7
b = \( \frac{-7}{-11} \)
b = \(\frac{7}{11}\)


5

Solve for b:
-4b - 7 < \( \frac{b}{-4} \)

44% Answer Correctly
b < -1\(\frac{1}{48}\)
b < \(\frac{25}{36}\)
b < -1\(\frac{13}{15}\)
b < 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.

-4b - 7 < \( \frac{b}{-4} \)
-4 x (-4b - 7) < b
(-4 x -4b) + (-4 x -7) < b
16b + 28 < b
16b + 28 - b < 0
16b - b < -28
15b < -28
b < \( \frac{-28}{15} \)
b < -1\(\frac{13}{15}\)
