Solve -4c - 2c = -5c + 4y + 1 for c in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
y + \(\frac{1}{2}\)
-13y - 9
-3\(\frac{1}{4}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
6y + 1

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.

-4c - 2y = -5c + 4y + 1
-4c = -5c + 4y + 1 + 2y
-4c + 5c = 4y + 1 + 2y
c = 6y + 1

Simplify (4a)(8ab) + (8a2)(9b).

65% Answer Correctly
204ab2
-40ab2
40ab2
104a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(4a)(8ab) + (8a2)(9b)
(4 x 8)(a x a x b) + (8 x 9)(a2 x b)
(32)(a1+1 x b) + (72)(a2b)
32a2b + 72a2b
104a2b

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

57% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°

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.

Solve for x:
-2x - 1 < \( \frac{x}{-6} \)

44% Answer Correctly
x < -\(\frac{6}{11}\)
x < \(\frac{14}{19}\)
x < \(\frac{8}{23}\)
x < 1\(\frac{7}{25}\)

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.

-2x - 1 < \( \frac{x}{-6} \)
-6 x (-2x - 1) < x
(-6 x -2x) + (-6 x -1) < x
12x + 6 < x
12x + 6 - x < 0
12x - x < -6
11x < -6
x < \( \frac{-6}{11} \)
x < -\(\frac{6}{11}\)


5

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

76% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π r2

a = π d

a = 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.
