1

Solve for x:
2x - 9 < -1 + 5x

55% Answer Correctly
x < -1
x < -2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
x < 1
x < 6

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 - 9 < -1 + 5x
2x < -1 + 5x + 9
2x - 5x < -1 + 9
-3x < 8
x < \( \frac{8}{-3} \)
x < -2\(\frac{2}{3}\)


2

What is 8a - 2a?

80% Answer Correctly
16a
6a
a2
16a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

8a - 2a = 6a


3

If angle a = 26° and angle b = 70° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
80°
94°
83°
84°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 26° - 70° = 84°


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 4) and (2, -8). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
y = -3x - 2
y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)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 -2. 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, 4) and (2, -8) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-8.0) - (4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)
m = -3

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -3x - 2


5

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

polynomial

binomial

monomial

quadratic


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.
