An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to 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.

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

-5c + 8z = 6c + 5z + 4
-5c = 6c + 5z + 4 - 8z
-5c - 6c = 5z + 4 - 8z
-11c = -3z + 4
c = \( \frac{-3z + 4}{-11} \)
c = \( \frac{-3z}{-11} \) + \( \frac{4}{-11} \)
c = \(\frac{3}{11}\)z - \(\frac{4}{11}\)

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).

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

v = h x l x w
v = 2 x 4 x 4
v = 32

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
