Find the value of c:
8c + z = -2
6c - 2z = 8

42% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-\(\frac{20}{21}\)
\(\frac{4}{41}\)
\(\frac{2}{11}\)

Solution

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

8c + z = -2
z = -2 - 8c

then substitute the result (-2 - 8c) into the second equation:

6c - 2(-2 - 8c) = 8
6c + (-2 x -2) + (-2 x -8c) = 8
6c + 4 + 16c = 8
6c + 16c = 8 - 4
22c = 4
c = \( \frac{4}{22} \)
c = \(\frac{2}{11}\)


2

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

lw x wh + lh

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w


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.

90% Answer Correctly

2

5

4

3


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


4

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

53% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


5

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.
