Solve 8c + 5c = -4c + 9y + 7 for c in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
4\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 4
-2\(\frac{2}{3}\)y - 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)y + \(\frac{7}{12}\)
-\(\frac{4}{5}\)y + \(\frac{2}{5}\)

Solution

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.

8c + 5y = -4c + 9y + 7
8c = -4c + 9y + 7 - 5y
8c + 4c = 9y + 7 - 5y
12c = 4y + 7
c = \( \frac{4y + 7}{12} \)
c = \( \frac{4y}{12} \) + \( \frac{7}{12} \)
c = \(\frac{1}{3}\)y + \(\frac{7}{12}\)


2

If BD = 15 and AD = 16, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
17
1
13
2

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 16 - 15
AB = 1


3

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

h2 x l2 x w2

lw x wh + lh

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


4

Solve for z:
z2 - 11z + 43 = 3z - 5

48% Answer Correctly
9 or -8
-8 or -8
6 or 8
8 or 4

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

z2 - 11z + 43 = 3z - 5
z2 - 11z + 43 + 5 = 3z
z2 - 11z - 3z + 48 = 0
z2 - 14z + 48 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

z2 - 14z + 48 = 0
(z - 6)(z - 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z - 6) or (z - 8) must equal zero:

If (z - 6) = 0, z must equal 6
If (z - 8) = 0, z must equal 8

So the solution is that z = 6 or 8


5

Solve for c:
c2 + 7c - 8 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
1 or -8
1 or -2
-2 or -5
-9 or -9

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

c2 + 7c - 8 = 0
(c - 1)(c + 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c - 1) or (c + 8) must equal zero:

If (c - 1) = 0, c must equal 1
If (c + 8) = 0, c must equal -8

So the solution is that c = 1 or -8
