Solve 4b - b = 7b + 5z + 4 for b in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
12z - 9
-2z - 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-z - \(\frac{6}{11}\)
\(\frac{1}{5}\)z - \(\frac{7}{10}\)

Solution

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

4b - z = 7b + 5z + 4
4b = 7b + 5z + 4 + z
4b - 7b = 5z + 4 + z
-3b = 6z + 4
b = \( \frac{6z + 4}{-3} \)
b = \( \frac{6z}{-3} \) + \( \frac{4}{-3} \)
b = -2z - 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)


2

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

49% Answer Correctly

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 2. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
20π
4π
1π
7π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(22 x 5)
v = 20π


4

What is 3a - 4a?

79% Answer Correctly
-a2
7
12a2
-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.

3a - 4a = -1a


5

If a = 8, b = 5, c = 6, and d = 6, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
23
25
22
20

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 8 + 5 + 6 + 6
p = 25
