Solve 5a + 9a = 4a - 8x - 5 for a in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{3}{5}\)x - 1\(\frac{4}{5}\)
-17x - 5
-\(\frac{3}{4}\)x + 1\(\frac{3}{4}\)
-3\(\frac{1}{3}\)x - 2\(\frac{1}{3}\)

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.

5a + 9x = 4a - 8x - 5
5a = 4a - 8x - 5 - 9x
5a - 4a = -8x - 5 - 9x
a = -17x - 5


2

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

91% Answer Correctly

origin

x-axis

y-axis

all of these


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


3

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 + a2

c - a

c2 - a2

a2 - c2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


4

Solve for c:
-3c + 3 = \( \frac{c}{-3} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{54}{55}\)
1
1\(\frac{1}{8}\)

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.

-3c + 3 = \( \frac{c}{-3} \)
-3 x (-3c + 3) = c
(-3 x -3c) + (-3 x 3) = c
9c - 9 = c
9c - 9 - c = 0
9c - c = 9
8c = 9
c = \( \frac{9}{8} \)
c = 1\(\frac{1}{8}\)


5

Solve for z:
z - 8 > \( \frac{z}{5} \)

44% Answer Correctly
z > -1\(\frac{1}{26}\)
z > -10\(\frac{2}{3}\)
z > -1\(\frac{7}{11}\)
z > 10

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 > sign and the answer on the other.

z - 8 > \( \frac{z}{5} \)
5 x (z - 8) > z
(5 x z) + (5 x -8) > z
5z - 40 > z
5z - 40 - z > 0
5z - z > 40
4z > 40
z > \( \frac{40}{4} \)
z > 10
