1

Solve for b:
-b - 5 = -2 + 2b

59% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
-2
-1
-2\(\frac{1}{3}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-b - 5 = -2 + 2b
-b = -2 + 2b + 5
-b - 2b = -2 + 5
-3b = 3
b = \( \frac{3}{-3} \)
b = -1


2

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


3

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

all of these

origin

x-axis

y-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -7) and (2, 3). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2

Solution

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, -7) and (2, 3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(3.0) - (-7.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{10}{4} \)
m = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

monomial

polynomial

binomial

quadratic


Solution

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