1. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve the inequality x+4>9x+4>9

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is x>5x>5.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Subtract 4 from both sides. Because the coefficient of x is positive, the inequality direction stays the same.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is x>5x>5.

Subtract 4 from both sides. Because the coefficient of x is positive, the inequality direction stays the same.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve 2x≤102x\le10

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is x≤5x\le5.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Divide both sides by the positive number 2, so the inequality remains x ≤ 5.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is x≤5x\le5.

Divide both sides by the positive number 2, so the inequality remains x ≤ 5.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve −3x>12-3x>12

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is x<−4x<-4.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Dividing by -3 reverses the inequality sign, giving x < -4.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is x<−4x<-4.

Dividing by -3 reverses the inequality sign, giving x < -4.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve 5−2x≥115-2x\ge11

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is x≤−3x\le-3.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Subtract 5 to get -2x ≥ 6, then divide by -2 and reverse the sign: x ≤ -3.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is x≤−3x\le-3.

Subtract 5 to get -2x ≥ 6, then divide by -2 and reverse the sign: x ≤ -3.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve the compound inequality −2<x+1≤4-2<x+1\le4

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is −3<x≤3-3<x\le3.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Subtract 1 from all three parts to obtain -3 < x ≤ 3.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is −3<x≤3-3<x\le3.

Subtract 1 from all three parts to obtain -3 < x ≤ 3.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve ∣x∣=7|x|=7

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is x = 7 or x = -7.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: A number with absolute value 7 is 7 units from zero, so both 7 and -7 are solutions.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is x = 7 or x = -7.

A number with absolute value 7 is 7 units from zero, so both 7 and -7 are solutions.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Solve ∣x∣<3|x|<3

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is −3<x<3-3<x<3.

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
  2. Apply the algebraic rule: Numbers whose distance from zero is less than 3 lie strictly between -3 and 3.
  3. Check the result: The correct choice is −3<x<3-3<x<3.

Numbers whose distance from zero is less than 3 lie strictly between -3 and 3.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

Which graph represents x≥2x\ge2?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is A closed dot at 2 with shading to the right..

  1. Identify the algebraic structure: Determine whether the problem asks about an expression, equation, inequality, function, pattern, or model.
