Solve for c:
4c + 8 = \( \frac{c}{-3} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{11}{13}\)
-\(\frac{4}{5}\)
\(\frac{32}{55}\)
\(\frac{5}{9}\)

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.

4c + 8 = \( \frac{c}{-3} \)
-3 x (4c + 8) = c
(-3 x 4c) + (-3 x 8) = c
-12c - 24 = c
-12c - 24 - c = 0
-12c - c = 24
-13c = 24
c = \( \frac{24}{-13} \)
c = -1\(\frac{11}{13}\)


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 5, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 8. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
120
144
160
54

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 5 x 4 x 8
v = 160


3

Simplify 3a x 8b.

86% Answer Correctly
24\( \frac{a}{b} \)
24\( \frac{b}{a} \)
24ab
24a2b2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

3a x 8b = (3 x 8) (a x b) = 24ab


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -9) and (2, 3). What is the slope of this line?

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

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, -9) and (2, 3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(3.0) - (-9.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{12}{4} \)
m = 3
