Solve for c:
9c - 6 < 1 - 3c

54% Answer Correctly
c < -6
c < \(\frac{7}{12}\)
c < \(\frac{1}{2}\)
c < -1\(\frac{1}{8}\)

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 - 6 < 1 - 3c
9c < 1 - 3c + 6
9c + 3c < 1 + 6
12c < 7
c < \( \frac{7}{12} \)
c < \(\frac{7}{12}\)


2

What is 5a - 5a?

78% Answer Correctly
25a
a2
0a
0

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.

5a - 5a = 0a


3

If angle a = 41° and angle b = 28° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
153°
119°
139°
159°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 41° - 28° = 111°

So, d° = 28° + 111° = 139°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 41° = 139°


4

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

53% Answer Correctly

equilateral and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral, isosceles and right

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

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

74% Answer Correctly

factoring

normalizing

squaring

deconstructing


Solution

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