Solve a + a = -a - 2x + 7 for a in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
8x - 3
-3x - 3
-9x + 5
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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.

a + x = -a - 2x + 7
a = -a - 2x + 7 - x
a + a = -2x + 7 - x
2a = -3x + 7
a = \( \frac{-3x + 7}{2} \)
a = \( \frac{-3x}{2} \) + \( \frac{7}{2} \)
a = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

Simplify 2a x 8b.

86% Answer Correctly
16\( \frac{a}{b} \)
16ab
16\( \frac{b}{a} \)
16a2b2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

2a x 8b = (2 x 8) (a x b) = 16ab


3

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 + a2

c - a

c2 - a2

a2 - c2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


4

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

75% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

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


5

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 15?

71% Answer Correctly
30π
14π
19π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 15)
c = 30π
