Find the value of a:
6a + y = -2
-7a - 2y = 4

42% Answer Correctly
-3\(\frac{5}{13}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{14}\)
-\(\frac{8}{9}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of y:

6a + y = -2
y = -2 - 6a

then substitute the result (-2 - 6a) into the second equation:

-7a - 2(-2 - 6a) = 4
-7a + (-2 x -2) + (-2 x -6a) = 4
-7a + 4 + 12a = 4
-7a + 12a = 4 - 4
5a = 0
a = \( \frac{0}{5} \)
a =


2

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 9?

71% Answer Correctly
16π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 9π


3

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


4

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

exponents

division

addition

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


5

If AD = 28 and BD = 24, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
15
5
4
12

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 28 - 24
AB = 4
