Solve b - 3b = -4b + 6x + 1 for b in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{1}{6}\)x - 1
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 2
-10x + 7
1\(\frac{4}{5}\)x + \(\frac{1}{5}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (b) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

b - 3x = -4b + 6x + 1
b = -4b + 6x + 1 + 3x
b + 4b = 6x + 1 + 3x
5b = 9x + 1
b = \( \frac{9x + 1}{5} \)
b = \( \frac{9x}{5} \) + \( \frac{1}{5} \)
b = 1\(\frac{4}{5}\)x + \(\frac{1}{5}\)


2

What is 6a2 - 7a2?

73% Answer Correctly
-a4
13a4
-1a2
42a4

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.

6a2 - 7a2 = -1a2


3

What is 5a - 4a?

79% Answer Correctly
20a
1a
a2
20a2

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.

5a - 4a = 1a


4

Find the value of a:
-7a + z = 7
2a - 5z = -8

42% Answer Correctly
-8
-\(\frac{9}{11}\)
-\(\frac{3}{16}\)
-\(\frac{1}{4}\)

Solution

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

-7a + z = 7
z = 7 + 7a

then substitute the result (7 - -7a) into the second equation:

2a - 5(7 + 7a) = -8
2a + (-5 x 7) + (-5 x 7a) = -8
2a - 35 - 35a = -8
2a - 35a = -8 + 35
-33a = 27
a = \( \frac{27}{-33} \)
a = -\(\frac{9}{11}\)


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 7, and width (w) = 3. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
54
648
126
180

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 7 x 3
v = 126
