Solve for a:
-5a + 9 = 6 - 2a

59% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{2}{7}\)
1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
1
-2\(\frac{2}{3}\)

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.

-5a + 9 = 6 - 2a
-5a = 6 - 2a - 9
-5a + 2a = 6 - 9
-3a = -3
a = \( \frac{-3}{-3} \)
a = 1


2

If BD = 9 and AD = 19, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
5
2
10
9

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 = 19 - 9
AB = 10


3

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

58% Answer Correctly
54
52\(\frac{1}{2}\)
20
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

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

Inside

First

Last

Odd


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


5

Solve for b:
8b + 6 = \( \frac{b}{-3} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{35}{62}\)
-\(\frac{18}{25}\)
-4\(\frac{4}{17}\)
-\(\frac{20}{21}\)

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.

8b + 6 = \( \frac{b}{-3} \)
-3 x (8b + 6) = b
(-3 x 8b) + (-3 x 6) = b
-24b - 18 = b
-24b - 18 - b = 0
-24b - b = 18
-25b = 18
b = \( \frac{18}{-25} \)
b = -\(\frac{18}{25}\)
