If c = -4 and x = -8, what is the value of 6c(c - x)?

69% Answer Correctly
-96
-16
-189
-30

Solution

To solve this equation, 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.)

6c(c - x)
6(-4)(-4 + 8)
6(-4)(4)
(-24)(4)
-96


2

Solve for z:
-3z + 7 > \( \frac{z}{7} \)

45% Answer Correctly
z > 2\(\frac{5}{22}\)
z > \(\frac{16}{17}\)
z > -\(\frac{10}{11}\)
z > -8

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 > sign and the answer on the other.

-3z + 7 > \( \frac{z}{7} \)
7 x (-3z + 7) > z
(7 x -3z) + (7 x 7) > z
-21z + 49 > z
-21z + 49 - z > 0
-21z - z > -49
-22z > -49
z > \( \frac{-49}{-22} \)
z > 2\(\frac{5}{22}\)

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

58% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


4

Solve for x:
-3x - 7 = -4 - 6x

60% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{3}{4}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
1
\(\frac{3}{4}\)

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.

-3x - 7 = -4 - 6x
-3x = -4 - 6x + 7
-3x + 6x = -4 + 7
3x = 3
x = \( \frac{3}{3} \)
x = 1


5

If a = c = 2, b = d = 9, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
18
63
64
28

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 2 x 9
a = 18
