A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

89% Answer Correctly

all of these

y-axis

x-axis

origin

What is 9a - 8a?

80% Answer Correctly
17
72a
a2
1a

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.

9a - 8a = 1a


3

Solve for z:
-3z - 2 > -9 - 8z

55% Answer Correctly
z > -\(\frac{1}{2}\)
z > -\(\frac{2}{3}\)
z > -2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
z > -1\(\frac{2}{5}\)

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.

-3z - 2 > -9 - 8z
-3z > -9 - 8z + 2
-3z + 8z > -9 + 2
5z > -7
z > \( \frac{-7}{5} \)
z > -1\(\frac{2}{5}\)


4

What is 2a + 3a?

81% Answer Correctly
a2
6a2
5a
-a2

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.

2a + 3a = 5a


5

If side x = 8cm, side y = 11cm, and side z = 10cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
38cm
26cm
27cm
29cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 8cm + 11cm + 10cm = 29cm
