Find the value of c:
c + x = 4
-7c + 8x = 6

42% Answer Correctly
9
1\(\frac{11}{15}\)
\(\frac{3}{11}\)
\(\frac{37}{49}\)

Solution

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

c + x = 4
x = 4 - c

then substitute the result (4 - 1c) into the second equation:

-7c + 8(4 - c) = 6
-7c + (8 x 4) + (8 x -c) = 6
-7c + 32 - 8c = 6
-7c - 8c = 6 - 32
-15c = -26
c = \( \frac{-26}{-15} \)
c = 1\(\frac{11}{15}\)

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

x-intercept

slope


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


3

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

72% Answer Correctly

diameter

circumference

chord

radius


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).


4

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

76% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


5

If the base of this triangle is 7 and the height is 3, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
49\(\frac{1}{2}\)
36
72
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 7 x 3 = \( \frac{21}{2} \) = 10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
