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.

3a - 2 > \( \frac{a}{-1} \)
-1 x (3a - 2) > a
(-1 x 3a) + (-1 x -2) > a
-3a + 2 > a
-3a + 2 - a > 0
-3a - a > -2
-4a > -2
a > \( \frac{-2}{-4} \)
a > \(\frac{1}{2}\)

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 2. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, 8) so the slope becomes:

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 3x + 2

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.

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

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)² : a = π r².
