2

Solve -6a + 9a = -5a - 8x - 2 for a in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{7}{12}\)x - \(\frac{3}{4}\)
17x + 2
-3x + 8
\(\frac{1}{6}\)x - \(\frac{5}{6}\)

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.

-6a + 9x = -5a - 8x - 2
-6a = -5a - 8x - 2 - 9x
-6a + 5a = -8x - 2 - 9x
-a = -17x - 2
a = \( \frac{-17x - 2}{-1} \)
a = \( \frac{-17x}{-1} \) + \( \frac{-2}{-1} \)
a = 17x + 2


3

70% Answer Correctly
19π
6π
4π
7π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

4

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

60% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical


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).


5

What is 4a - 8a?

79% Answer Correctly
-4a
32a
-4
12

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 - 8a = -4a
