Solve for y:
6y + 3 = \( \frac{y}{-5} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{15}{31}\)
1\(\frac{1}{23}\)
-\(\frac{12}{13}\)
-2\(\frac{2}{7}\)

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.

6y + 3 = \( \frac{y}{-5} \)
-5 x (6y + 3) = y
(-5 x 6y) + (-5 x 3) = y
-30y - 15 = y
-30y - 15 - y = 0
-30y - y = 15
-31y = 15
y = \( \frac{15}{-31} \)
y = -\(\frac{15}{31}\)


2

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


3

If AD = 21 and BD = 16, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
9
5
8
16

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 21 - 16
AB = 5


4

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

76% Answer Correctly

expression

problem

formula

equation


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to 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.


5

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

83% Answer Correctly

Odd

First

Last

Inside


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.
