Find the value of c:
-5c + x = 9
-7c + 3x = -3

42% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{16}{73}\)
-\(\frac{48}{59}\)
-\(\frac{11}{12}\)
-3\(\frac{3}{4}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of x:

-5c + x = 9
x = 9 + 5c

then substitute the result (9 - -5c) into the second equation:

-7c + 3(9 + 5c) = -3
-7c + (3 x 9) + (3 x 5c) = -3
-7c + 27 + 15c = -3
-7c + 15c = -3 - 27
8c = -30
c = \( \frac{-30}{8} \)
c = -3\(\frac{3}{4}\)


2

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π r

c = π d2

c = π r2


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.


3

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

61% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical


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).


4

If a = 6, b = 5, c = 1, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
22
18
25
14

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 6 + 5 + 1 + 2
p = 14


5

If a = -8 and x = -3, what is the value of -5a(a - x)?

68% Answer Correctly
56
-30
72
-200

Solution

To solve this equation, 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.)

-5a(a - x)
-5(-8)(-8 + 3)
-5(-8)(-5)
(40)(-5)
-200
