1

Solve for x:
4x - 8 < -9 - 3x

55% Answer Correctly
x < -\(\frac{1}{7}\)
x < -\(\frac{3}{8}\)
x < \(\frac{2}{3}\)
x < -1\(\frac{1}{4}\)

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.

4x - 8 < -9 - 3x
4x < -9 - 3x + 8
4x + 3x < -9 + 8
7x < -1
x < \( \frac{-1}{7} \)
x < -\(\frac{1}{7}\)


2

If the base of this triangle is 4 and the height is 9, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
52\(\frac{1}{2}\)
18
84
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 4 x 9 = \( \frac{36}{2} \) = 18


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π r

c = π r2

c = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

Simplify (7a)(9ab) + (4a2)(7b).

65% Answer Correctly
91ab2
35a2b
91a2b
-35a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(7a)(9ab) + (4a2)(7b)
(7 x 9)(a x a x b) + (4 x 7)(a2 x b)
(63)(a1+1 x b) + (28)(a2b)
63a2b + 28a2b
91a2b


5

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

83% Answer Correctly

Odd

Last

First

Inside


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.
