Solve for y:
9y + 6 = 4 - 5y

58% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{2}{7}\)
-\(\frac{1}{7}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{7}\)

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 + 6 = 4 - 5y
9y = 4 - 5y - 6
9y + 5y = 4 - 6
14y = -2
y = \( \frac{-2}{14} \)
y = -\(\frac{1}{7}\)


2

Solve for a:
a2 - a - 2 = 0

57% Answer Correctly
-1 or -7
7 or -4
-1 or 2
2 or -8

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

a2 - a - 2 = 0
(a + 1)(a - 2) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (a + 1) or (a - 2) must equal zero:

If (a + 1) = 0, a must equal -1
If (a - 2) = 0, a must equal 2

So the solution is that a = -1 or 2


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 5. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
162π
125π
36π
128π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(52 x 5)
v = 125π


4

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

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

diameter

chord


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).


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

the area is length x width

all interior angles are right angles

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
