Solve 5c - 5c = -5c + 6x + 4 for c in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{10}\)x + \(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{5}{7}\)x - \(\frac{1}{7}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}\)x + \(\frac{3}{4}\)
-10x + 7

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.

5c - 5x = -5c + 6x + 4
5c = -5c + 6x + 4 + 5x
5c + 5c = 6x + 4 + 5x
10c = 11x + 4
c = \( \frac{11x + 4}{10} \)
c = \( \frac{11x}{10} \) + \( \frac{4}{10} \)
c = 1\(\frac{1}{10}\)x + \(\frac{2}{5}\)


2

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


3

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

all acute angles equal each other

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).


4

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

c - a

c2 + a2

a2 - c2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


5

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).
