Solve for y:
-8y + 1 = \( \frac{y}{-6} \)

46% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{10}{17}\)
1\(\frac{10}{53}\)
\(\frac{4}{11}\)
\(\frac{6}{47}\)

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.

-8y + 1 = \( \frac{y}{-6} \)
-6 x (-8y + 1) = y
(-6 x -8y) + (-6 x 1) = y
48y - 6 = y
48y - 6 - y = 0
48y - y = 6
47y = 6
y = \( \frac{6}{47} \)
y = \(\frac{6}{47}\)


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 6. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
132π
24π
126π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(62) + 2π(6 x 5)
sa = 2π(36) + 2π(30)
sa = (2 x 36)π + (2 x 30)π
sa = 72π + 60π
sa = 132π

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If w° = 15, what is the value of z°?

73% Answer Correctly
17
15
16
160

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with w° = 15, the value of z° is 15.


4

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

polynomial

binomial

monomial

quadratic


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


5

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 13?

71% Answer Correctly
13π
12π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 13π
