Solve for c:
3c + 7 < -8 - 5c

55% Answer Correctly
c < -7
c < -2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
c < 5
c < -1\(\frac{7}{8}\)

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.

3c + 7 < -8 - 5c
3c < -8 - 5c - 7
3c + 5c < -8 - 7
8c < -15
c < \( \frac{-15}{8} \)
c < -1\(\frac{7}{8}\)


2

If AD = 21 and BD = 16, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
16
6
5
14

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 = 21 - 16
AB = 5


3

Solve for c:
-2c - 8 = \( \frac{c}{9} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-3\(\frac{15}{19}\)
-1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
-\(\frac{54}{55}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{15}\)

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.

-2c - 8 = \( \frac{c}{9} \)
9 x (-2c - 8) = c
(9 x -2c) + (9 x -8) = c
-18c - 72 = c
-18c - 72 - c = 0
-18c - c = 72
-19c = 72
c = \( \frac{72}{-19} \)
c = -3\(\frac{15}{19}\)


4

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

squaring

deconstructing

normalizing

factoring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


5

If the base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 3, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
12
90
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)
112\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 8 x 3 = \( \frac{24}{2} \) = 12
