Solve 5b + 5b = 4b - 7y + 9 for b in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
y - 3
-12y + 9
-\(\frac{8}{17}\)y + \(\frac{7}{17}\)
y - 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)

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.

5b + 5y = 4b - 7y + 9
5b = 4b - 7y + 9 - 5y
5b - 4b = -7y + 9 - 5y
b = -12y + 9


2

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

Inside

Last

First

Odd


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


3

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

91% Answer Correctly

division

exponents

pairs

addition


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.)


4

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

chord

diameter


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


5

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 2, c = 7, d = 3, and h = 5. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
27
8
9
12\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(2 + 3)(5)
a = ½(5)(5)
a = ½(25) = \( \frac{25}{2} \)
a = 12\(\frac{1}{2}\)
