Solve 4c + 7c = 8c - 9x - 2 for c in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
x - \(\frac{2}{11}\)
-\(\frac{1}{4}\)x - 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
-\(\frac{1}{3}\)x + \(\frac{8}{9}\)
4x + \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

4c + 7x = 8c - 9x - 2
4c = 8c - 9x - 2 - 7x
4c - 8c = -9x - 2 - 7x
-4c = -16x - 2
c = \( \frac{-16x - 2}{-4} \)
c = \( \frac{-16x}{-4} \) + \( \frac{-2}{-4} \)
c = 4x + \(\frac{1}{2}\)

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 6 and radius (r) = 4. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
80π
84π
140π
156π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(42) + 2π(4 x 6)
sa = 2π(16) + 2π(24)
sa = (2 x 16)π + (2 x 24)π
sa = 32π + 48π
sa = 80π


3

What is 5a7 + 5a7?

75% Answer Correctly
10a14
10
10a7
a714

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

5a7 + 5a7 = 10a7


4

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

all of these statements are correct

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


5

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 7?

71% Answer Correctly
18π
14π
12π

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 * 7)
c = 14π
