Solve for y:
5y + 2 = \( \frac{y}{-8} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{16}{41}\)
\(\frac{9}{20}\)
\(\frac{8}{65}\)
2\(\frac{1}{13}\)

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.

5y + 2 = \( \frac{y}{-8} \)
-8 x (5y + 2) = y
(-8 x 5y) + (-8 x 2) = y
-40y - 16 = y
-40y - 16 - y = 0
-40y - y = 16
-41y = 16
y = \( \frac{16}{-41} \)
y = -\(\frac{16}{41}\)


2

Solve 5c - 9c = -9c + z + 8 for c in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{5}{7}\)z + \(\frac{4}{7}\)
-\(\frac{3}{16}\)z - \(\frac{3}{8}\)
-4\(\frac{2}{3}\)z + 2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-6z - 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.

5c - 9z = -9c + z + 8
5c = -9c + z + 8 + 9z
5c + 9c = z + 8 + 9z
14c = 10z + 8
c = \( \frac{10z + 8}{14} \)
c = \( \frac{10z}{14} \) + \( \frac{8}{14} \)
c = \(\frac{5}{7}\)z + \(\frac{4}{7}\)


3

Find the value of c:
-9c + x = -5
2c + 9x = -9

42% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{4}{13}\)
\(\frac{36}{83}\)
\(\frac{6}{7}\)
-3\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Solution

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

-9c + x = -5
x = -5 + 9c

then substitute the result (-5 - -9c) into the second equation:

2c + 9(-5 + 9c) = -9
2c + (9 x -5) + (9 x 9c) = -9
2c - 45 + 81c = -9
2c + 81c = -9 + 45
83c = 36
c = \( \frac{36}{83} \)
c = \(\frac{36}{83}\)


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 4) and (2, 0). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
1
-1
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 4) and (2, 0) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(0.0) - (4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-4}{4} \)
m = -1


5

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 10?

69% Answer Correctly
25π
49π
16π
81π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{10}{2} \)
r = 5
a = πr2
a = π(52)
a = 25π
