Find the value of c:
9c + x = 4
-7c - 2x = 4

42% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
1\(\frac{1}{11}\)
-\(\frac{47}{48}\)
-1\(\frac{39}{41}\)

Solution

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

9c + x = 4
x = 4 - 9c

then substitute the result (4 - 9c) into the second equation:

-7c - 2(4 - 9c) = 4
-7c + (-2 x 4) + (-2 x -9c) = 4
-7c - 8 + 18c = 4
-7c + 18c = 4 + 8
11c = 12
c = \( \frac{12}{11} \)
c = 1\(\frac{1}{11}\)


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 3. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
9π
108π
441π
81π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(32 x 9)
v = 81π


4

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

90°

45°

360°

180°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 0) and (2, 8). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4
y = 2x + 4
y = -3x - 4
y = x - 1

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 4. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 0) and (2, 8) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(8.0) - (0.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 2x + 4
