Solve 5b - 3b = -b - 5x - 9 for b in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
-9x + 9
\(\frac{1}{8}\)x + \(\frac{1}{8}\)
-\(\frac{1}{3}\)x - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{5}{8}\)x - \(\frac{7}{8}\)

Solution

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

5b - 3x = -b - 5x - 9
5b = -b - 5x - 9 + 3x
5b + b = -5x - 9 + 3x
6b = -2x - 9
b = \( \frac{-2x - 9}{6} \)
b = \( \frac{-2x}{6} \) + \( \frac{-9}{6} \)
b = -\(\frac{1}{3}\)x - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

monomial

quadratic

polynomial

binomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


3

If BD = 19 and AD = 27, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
2
11
8
18

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 27 - 19
AB = 8


4

If the base of this triangle is 9 and the height is 4, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
60
45\(\frac{1}{2}\)
18
55

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 9 x 4 = \( \frac{36}{2} \) = 18


5

A right angle measures:

91% Answer Correctly

45°

90°

180°

360°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.
