Solve -c + 4c = -9c + 2z + 9 for c in terms of z.

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

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.

-c + 4z = -9c + 2z + 9
-c = -9c + 2z + 9 - 4z
-c + 9c = 2z + 9 - 4z
8c = -2z + 9
c = \( \frac{-2z + 9}{8} \)
c = \( \frac{-2z}{8} \) + \( \frac{9}{8} \)
c = -\(\frac{1}{4}\)z + 1\(\frac{1}{8}\)


2

If a = 1, b = 1, c = 8, and d = 9, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
16
24
19
18

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 1 + 1 + 8 + 9
p = 19


3

What is 8a6 + 7a6?

75% Answer Correctly
a12
56a12
15a6
15a12

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.

8a6 + 7a6 = 15a6


4

If a = c = 8, b = d = 1, and the blue angle = 62°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
8
4
18
36

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 1
a = 8


5

If side a = 9, side b = 6, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{41} \)
\( \sqrt{82} \)
\( \sqrt{117} \)
\( \sqrt{34} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 62
c2 = 81 + 36
c2 = 117
c = \( \sqrt{117} \)
