Solve for x:
-2x - 7 < -1 + 3x

55% Answer Correctly
x < \(\frac{1}{6}\)
x < -1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
x < -1\(\frac{2}{7}\)
x < -\(\frac{7}{9}\)

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.

-2x - 7 < -1 + 3x
-2x < -1 + 3x + 7
-2x - 3x < -1 + 7
-5x < 6
x < \( \frac{6}{-5} \)
x < -1\(\frac{1}{5}\)


2

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 + a2

a2 - c2

c2 - a2

c - a


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


3

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

right angle

equal length

equal angle

parallel


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 6. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
36π
54π
50π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(62 x 1)
v = 36π


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, 6). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0
y = -3x - 2
y = x - 2
y = x + 4

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 4. 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, 6) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(6.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{4}{4} \)
m = 1

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = x + 4
