Find the value of a:
-2a + y = 1
-5a + 9y = -4

42% Answer Correctly
-3\(\frac{7}{13}\)
-1
-\(\frac{29}{35}\)
-\(\frac{8}{69}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of y:

-2a + y = 1
y = 1 + 2a

then substitute the result (1 - -2a) into the second equation:

-5a + 9(1 + 2a) = -4
-5a + (9 x 1) + (9 x 2a) = -4
-5a + 9 + 18a = -4
-5a + 18a = -4 - 9
13a = -13
a = \( \frac{-13}{13} \)
a = -1


2

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


3

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

exponents

addition

division

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


4

What is 4a - 3a?

80% Answer Correctly
7
1
12a
1a

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.

4a - 3a = 1a


5

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

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

diameter

radius


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).
