Solve for a:
-2a + 3 < \( \frac{a}{-8} \)

44% Answer Correctly
a < -1\(\frac{3}{4}\)
a < 1\(\frac{3}{5}\)
a < \(\frac{6}{17}\)
a < \(\frac{16}{17}\)

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 + 3 < \( \frac{a}{-8} \)
-8 x (-2a + 3) < a
(-8 x -2a) + (-8 x 3) < a
16a - 24 < a
16a - 24 - a < 0
16a - a < 24
15a < 24
a < \( \frac{24}{15} \)
a < 1\(\frac{3}{5}\)


2

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

4

5

2

3


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


3

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

360°

90°

45°

180°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 0). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 0) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(0.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh

h x l x w

h2 x l2 x w2


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.
