Solve for x:
-6x + 4 = 3 + 9x

58% Answer Correctly
-1
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{15}\)

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.

-6x + 4 = 3 + 9x
-6x = 3 + 9x - 4
-6x - 9x = 3 - 4
-15x = -1
x = \( \frac{-1}{-15} \)
x = \(\frac{1}{15}\)


2

Solve -3c + 8c = 2c - 2y + 2 for c in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
4\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 4
-\(\frac{12}{13}\)y + \(\frac{5}{13}\)
2y - \(\frac{2}{5}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{9}\)y - \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-3c + 8y = 2c - 2y + 2
-3c = 2c - 2y + 2 - 8y
-3c - 2c = -2y + 2 - 8y
-5c = -10y + 2
c = \( \frac{-10y + 2}{-5} \)
c = \( \frac{-10y}{-5} \) + \( \frac{2}{-5} \)
c = 2y - \(\frac{2}{5}\)


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 1, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 5. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
45
72
135
128

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 1 x 9 x 5
v = 45


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 5) and (2, -1). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3
3
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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, 5) and (2, -1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-1.0) - (5.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)
m = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

Solve for y:
7y - 6 = \( \frac{y}{-7} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{1}{39}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{21}{25}\)
-\(\frac{8}{9}\)

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.

7y - 6 = \( \frac{y}{-7} \)
-7 x (7y - 6) = y
(-7 x 7y) + (-7 x -6) = y
-49y + 42 = y
-49y + 42 - y = 0
-49y - y = -42
-50y = -42
y = \( \frac{-42}{-50} \)
y = \(\frac{21}{25}\)
