Find the value of b:
-6b + x = -8
-6b - 3x = -2

42% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{5}\)
1\(\frac{5}{11}\)
\(\frac{5}{29}\)
1\(\frac{1}{12}\)

Solution

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

-6b + x = -8
x = -8 + 6b

then substitute the result (-8 - -6b) into the second equation:

-6b - 3(-8 + 6b) = -2
-6b + (-3 x -8) + (-3 x 6b) = -2
-6b + 24 - 18b = -2
-6b - 18b = -2 - 24
-24b = -26
b = \( \frac{-26}{-24} \)
b = 1\(\frac{1}{12}\)


2

If BD = 11 and AD = 14, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
3
6
8
13

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 = 14 - 11
AB = 3


3

Solve for x:
-9x + 3 < -2 - 2x

55% Answer Correctly
x < -\(\frac{4}{7}\)
x < 4
x < 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
x < \(\frac{5}{7}\)

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.

-9x + 3 < -2 - 2x
-9x < -2 - 2x - 3
-9x + 2x < -2 - 3
-7x < -5
x < \( \frac{-5}{-7} \)
x < \(\frac{5}{7}\)


4

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

bisects

midpoints

trisects

intersects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


5

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.
