Solve for y:
-2y + 3 = 7 + 4y

58% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{3}{5}\)
-\(\frac{2}{3}\)
-\(\frac{1}{3}\)

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.

-2y + 3 = 7 + 4y
-2y = 7 + 4y - 3
-2y - 4y = 7 - 3
-6y = 4
y = \( \frac{4}{-6} \)
y = -\(\frac{2}{3}\)


2

Solve for y:
9y - 9 < \( \frac{y}{-8} \)

44% Answer Correctly
y < \(\frac{8}{11}\)
y < 1\(\frac{5}{19}\)
y < \(\frac{72}{73}\)
y < -4

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 < sign and the answer on the other.

9y - 9 < \( \frac{y}{-8} \)
-8 x (9y - 9) < y
(-8 x 9y) + (-8 x -9) < y
-72y + 72 < y
-72y + 72 - y < 0
-72y - y < -72
-73y < -72
y < \( \frac{-72}{-73} \)
y < \(\frac{72}{73}\)


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, -4). What is the slope of this line?

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

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, 2) and (2, -4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-4.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)
m = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 9. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
24π
81π
36π
16π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(92 x 1)
v = 81π


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 3, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 7. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
240
118
486
202

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 8 x 7) + (2 x 7 x 3) + (2 x 8 x 3)
sa = (112) + (42) + (48)
sa = 202
