Find the value of b:
8b + x = -4
-6b - 6x = -6

42% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{7}{29}\)
-14\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-\(\frac{5}{7}\)
-\(\frac{4}{5}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of x:

8b + x = -4
x = -4 - 8b

then substitute the result (-4 - 8b) into the second equation:

-6b - 6(-4 - 8b) = -6
-6b + (-6 x -4) + (-6 x -8b) = -6
-6b + 24 + 48b = -6
-6b + 48b = -6 - 24
42b = -30
b = \( \frac{-30}{42} \)
b = -\(\frac{5}{7}\)


2

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

52% Answer Correctly

rhombus

quadrilateral

trapezoid

triangle


Solution

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


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

76% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


5

Simplify (4a)(4ab) - (6a2)(5b).

63% Answer Correctly
88a2b
-14a2b
14ab2
46ab2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(4a)(4ab) - (6a2)(5b)
(4 x 4)(a x a x b) - (6 x 5)(a2 x b)
(16)(a1+1 x b) - (30)(a2b)
16a2b - 30a2b
-14a2b
