Solve -2a - 5a = -3a + 7y - 6 for a in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{1}{4}\)y - \(\frac{3}{8}\)
2\(\frac{3}{7}\)y + \(\frac{5}{7}\)
12y - 6
2y + \(\frac{3}{5}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (a) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-2a - 5y = -3a + 7y - 6
-2a = -3a + 7y - 6 + 5y
-2a + 3a = 7y - 6 + 5y
a = 12y - 6

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 1, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 6. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
22
78
100
138

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 9 x 6) + (2 x 6 x 1) + (2 x 9 x 1)
sa = (108) + (12) + (18)
sa = 138


3

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

pairs

addition

exponents

division


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π r2

c = π d2

c = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

4

2

5

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.
