Solve 5a + 7a = 8a - z + 7 for a in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{1}{7}\)z + \(\frac{4}{7}\)
-\(\frac{1}{11}\)z - \(\frac{8}{11}\)
2\(\frac{2}{3}\)z - 2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-z + \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (a) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

5a + 7z = 8a - z + 7
5a = 8a - z + 7 - 7z
5a - 8a = -z + 7 - 7z
-3a = -8z + 7
a = \( \frac{-8z + 7}{-3} \)
a = \( \frac{-8z}{-3} \) + \( \frac{7}{-3} \)
a = 2\(\frac{2}{3}\)z - 2\(\frac{1}{3}\)


2

If angle a = 27° and angle b = 63° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
100°
57°
118°
90°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 27° - 63° = 90°


3

Solve for z:
5z - 3 = -1 - 4z

59% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
2
1\(\frac{1}{8}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

5z - 3 = -1 - 4z
5z = -1 - 4z + 3
5z + 4z = -1 + 3
9z = 2
z = \( \frac{2}{9} \)
z = \(\frac{2}{9}\)


4

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

rhombus

triangle

quadrilateral

trapezoid


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


5

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

77% Answer Correctly

expression

problem

equation

formula


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.
