Solve for c:
-6c - 3 > -4 + 6c

55% Answer Correctly
c > \(\frac{4}{9}\)
c > \(\frac{3}{4}\)
c > \(\frac{7}{8}\)
c > \(\frac{1}{12}\)

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.

-6c - 3 > -4 + 6c
-6c > -4 + 6c + 3
-6c - 6c > -4 + 3
-12c > -1
c > \( \frac{-1}{-12} \)
c > \(\frac{1}{12}\)


2

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

90°

360°

45°

180°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

If a = 4, b = 8, c = 6, and d = 5, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
15
20
23
17

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 4 + 8 + 6 + 5
p = 23


5

Find the value of b:
-7b + y = 2
-3b + y = -6

42% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{13}{14}\)
\(\frac{30}{43}\)
-2

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of y:

-7b + y = 2
y = 2 + 7b

then substitute the result (2 - -7b) into the second equation:

-3b + 1(2 + 7b) = -6
-3b + (1 x 2) + (1 x 7b) = -6
-3b + 2 + 7b = -6
-3b + 7b = -6 - 2
4b = -8
b = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)
b = -2
