Solve for z:
4z + 9 = 5 - 7z

58% Answer Correctly
-2
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{4}{9}\)
-\(\frac{4}{11}\)

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.

4z + 9 = 5 - 7z
4z = 5 - 7z - 9
4z + 7z = 5 - 9
11z = -4
z = \( \frac{-4}{11} \)
z = -\(\frac{4}{11}\)


2

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


3

If a = 9, b = 4, c = 7, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
23
18
25
22

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 9 + 4 + 7 + 2
p = 22


4

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

49% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal


Solution

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).


5

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 5, c = 6, d = 9, and h = 3. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
25
21
18
9

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(5 + 9)(3)
a = ½(14)(3)
a = ½(42) = \( \frac{42}{2} \)
a = 21
