Solve for a:
-2a + 9 < \( \frac{a}{-4} \)

44% Answer Correctly
a < -\(\frac{12}{13}\)
a < 5\(\frac{1}{7}\)
a < -2\(\frac{4}{5}\)
a < 2\(\frac{2}{5}\)

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.

-2a + 9 < \( \frac{a}{-4} \)
-4 x (-2a + 9) < a
(-4 x -2a) + (-4 x 9) < a
8a - 36 < a
8a - 36 - a < 0
8a - a < 36
7a < 36
a < \( \frac{36}{7} \)
a < 5\(\frac{1}{7}\)


2

If a = c = 2, b = d = 1, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
2
40
6
9

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 2 x 1
a = 2


3

Find the value of a:
-3a + z = -7
-6a + 3z = 9

42% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{13}\)
10
-\(\frac{38}{39}\)
-1\(\frac{3}{19}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of z:

-3a + z = -7
z = -7 + 3a

then substitute the result (-7 - -3a) into the second equation:

-6a + 3(-7 + 3a) = 9
-6a + (3 x -7) + (3 x 3a) = 9
-6a - 21 + 9a = 9
-6a + 9a = 9 + 21
3a = 30
a = \( \frac{30}{3} \)
a = 10


4

If BD = 13 and AD = 22, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
9
13
7
12

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 22 - 13
AB = 9


5

If side x = 13cm, side y = 8cm, and side z = 6cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
22cm
27cm
31cm
34cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 13cm + 8cm + 6cm = 27cm
