1

Solve for y:
-5y - 1 = 2 - 9y

60% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{7}{8}\)
-1\(\frac{3}{4}\)
-6

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

-5y - 1 = 2 - 9y
-5y = 2 - 9y + 1
-5y + 9y = 2 + 1
4y = 3
y = \( \frac{3}{4} \)
y = \(\frac{3}{4}\)


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 2, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 2. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
45
49
140
32

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 2 x 8 x 2
v = 32


3

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

47% Answer Correctly

diameter

chord

radius

circumference


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).


4

Solve for z:
z2 + 5z - 36 = 0

59% Answer Correctly
-5 or -9
2 or -3
4 or -9
5 or -7

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

z2 + 5z - 36 = 0
(z - 4)(z + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z - 4) or (z + 9) must equal zero:

If (z - 4) = 0, z must equal 4
If (z + 9) = 0, z must equal -9

So the solution is that z = 4 or -9


5

If side a = 8, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{73} \)
\( \sqrt{85} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 32
c2 = 64 + 9
c2 = 73
c = \( \sqrt{73} \)
