Solve for b:
b - 9 = \( \frac{b}{6} \)

46% Answer Correctly
10\(\frac{4}{5}\)
-\(\frac{28}{37}\)
1\(\frac{19}{29}\)
\(\frac{32}{55}\)

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.

b - 9 = \( \frac{b}{6} \)
6 x (b - 9) = b
(6 x b) + (6 x -9) = b
6b - 54 = b
6b - 54 - b = 0
6b - b = 54
5b = 54
b = \( \frac{54}{5} \)
b = 10\(\frac{4}{5}\)


2

Solve for c:
-5c - 7 = 6 - 4c

58% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
-13
-1
5

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.

-5c - 7 = 6 - 4c
-5c = 6 - 4c + 7
-5c + 4c = 6 + 7
-c = 13
c = \( \frac{13}{-1} \)
c = -13


3

If side a = 1, side b = 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{74} \)
\( \sqrt{41} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
10

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 12
c2 = 1 + 1
c2 = 2
c = \( \sqrt{2} \)


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 2, and width (w) = 2. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
20
126
336
24

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 2 x 2
v = 24


5

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

57% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°


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.
