Solve 7a - 5a = 9a - 9y - 1 for a in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
13y + 7
2y + \(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}\)y + \(\frac{1}{12}\)
5y - 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.

7a - 5y = 9a - 9y - 1
7a = 9a - 9y - 1 + 5y
7a - 9a = -9y - 1 + 5y
-2a = -4y - 1
a = \( \frac{-4y - 1}{-2} \)
a = \( \frac{-4y}{-2} \) + \( \frac{-1}{-2} \)
a = 2y + \(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

If angle a = 67° and angle b = 70° what is the length of angle c?

70% Answer Correctly
48°
127°
85°
43°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 67° - 70° = 43°


3

If the base of this triangle is 1 and the height is 6, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
49
67\(\frac{1}{2}\)
82\(\frac{1}{2}\)
3

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 1 x 6 = \( \frac{6}{2} \) = 3


4

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

chord

diameter


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


5

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

49% Answer Correctly

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
