1

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

trapezoid

triangle

rhombus


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


2

If a = -3 and x = -2, what is the value of -8a(a - x)?

69% Answer Correctly
8
0
-25
-24

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

-8a(a - x)
-8(-3)(-3 + 2)
-8(-3)(-1)
(24)(-1)
-24


3

Solve for b:
-2b - 8 > \( \frac{b}{3} \)

45% Answer Correctly
b > -1\(\frac{8}{37}\)
b > -\(\frac{5}{19}\)
b > -3\(\frac{13}{17}\)
b > -3\(\frac{3}{7}\)

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.

-2b - 8 > \( \frac{b}{3} \)
3 x (-2b - 8) > b
(3 x -2b) + (3 x -8) > b
-6b - 24 > b
-6b - 24 - b > 0
-6b - b > 24
-7b > 24
b > \( \frac{24}{-7} \)
b > -3\(\frac{3}{7}\)


4

What is 7a + 3a?

81% Answer Correctly
a2
4a2
10a2
10a

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.

7a + 3a = 10a


5

Solve for x:
3x - 5 < -3 + 2x

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

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.

3x - 5 < -3 + 2x
3x < -3 + 2x + 5
3x - 2x < -3 + 5
x < 2
