Solve for y:
9y + 4 = \( \frac{y}{-6} \)

46% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{12}{31}\)
-\(\frac{12}{31}\)
\(\frac{15}{31}\)
-\(\frac{24}{55}\)

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.

9y + 4 = \( \frac{y}{-6} \)
-6 x (9y + 4) = y
(-6 x 9y) + (-6 x 4) = y
-54y - 24 = y
-54y - 24 - y = 0
-54y - y = 24
-55y = 24
y = \( \frac{24}{-55} \)
y = -\(\frac{24}{55}\)

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

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{72} \)
\( \sqrt{113} \)
\( \sqrt{18} \)
\( \sqrt{128} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 62
c2 = 36 + 36
c2 = 72
c = \( \sqrt{72} \)


3

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

rhombus

quadrilateral

triangle

trapezoid


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


4

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

Last

Odd

First

Inside


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


5

If a = 8, b = 5, c = 5, and d = 9, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
25
12
27
22

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 8 + 5 + 5 + 9
p = 27
