Find the value of b:
6b + x = 7
8b + 3x = 8

42% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{11}{40}\)
1
1\(\frac{3}{10}\)
1\(\frac{22}{61}\)

Solution

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

6b + x = 7
x = 7 - 6b

then substitute the result (7 - 6b) into the second equation:

8b + 3(7 - 6b) = 8
8b + (3 x 7) + (3 x -6b) = 8
8b + 21 - 18b = 8
8b - 18b = 8 - 21
-10b = -13
b = \( \frac{-13}{-10} \)
b = 1\(\frac{3}{10}\)


2

If angle a = 37° and angle b = 23° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
105°
120°
116°
86°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 37° - 23° = 120°


3

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

58% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


4

If c = -6 and y = 3, what is the value of -2c(c - y)?

69% Answer Correctly
40
-132
-108
56

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

-2c(c - y)
-2(-6)(-6 - 3)
-2(-6)(-9)
(12)(-9)
-108


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 3 and radius (r) = 7. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
144π
147π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(72 x 3)
v = 147π
