1

Solve for z:
2z - 5 < 3 - z

54% Answer Correctly
z < -\(\frac{2}{9}\)
z < 2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
z < -\(\frac{2}{3}\)
z < \(\frac{1}{5}\)

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.

2z - 5 < 3 - z
2z < 3 - z + 5
2z + z < 3 + 5
3z < 8
z < \( \frac{8}{3} \)
z < 2\(\frac{2}{3}\)


2

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

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

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, 2) so the slope becomes:

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


3

Simplify 2a x 6b.

85% Answer Correctly
12\( \frac{a}{b} \)
12\( \frac{b}{a} \)
12ab
12a2b2

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.

2a x 6b = (2 x 6) (a x b) = 12ab


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 7, and width (w) = 9. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
144
270
216
378

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 7 x 9
v = 378


5

If side x = 5cm, side y = 15cm, and side z = 13cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
36cm
27cm
29cm
33cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 5cm + 15cm + 13cm = 33cm
