Solve -2c - 5c = -6c - 7y + 4 for c in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 1
-3y + \(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{8}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{8}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 2

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.

-2c - 5y = -6c - 7y + 4
-2c = -6c - 7y + 4 + 5y
-2c + 6c = -7y + 4 + 5y
4c = -2y + 4
c = \( \frac{-2y + 4}{4} \)
c = \( \frac{-2y}{4} \) + \( \frac{4}{4} \)
c = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 1

If angle a = 34° and angle b = 40° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
110°
158°
146°
160°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 34° - 40° = 106°

So, d° = 40° + 106° = 146°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 34° = 146°


3

What is 8a - 7a?

80% Answer Correctly
15
a2
1a
56a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

8a - 7a = 1a


4

If side x = 10cm, side y = 8cm, and side z = 15cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
25cm
33cm
43cm
29cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 10cm + 8cm + 15cm = 33cm


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the lengths of all sides are equal


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
