1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 4, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 4. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
178
98
184
48

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 1 x 4) + (2 x 4 x 4) + (2 x 1 x 4)
sa = (8) + (32) + (8)
sa = 48


2

Find the value of a:
8a + x = -8
-a - 4x = -7

42% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{8}{31}\)
\(\frac{19}{30}\)
\(\frac{8}{33}\)
\(\frac{11}{28}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of x:

8a + x = -8
x = -8 - 8a

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

-a - 4(-8 - 8a) = -7
-a + (-4 x -8) + (-4 x -8a) = -7
-a + 32 + 32a = -7
-a + 32a = -7 - 32
31a = -39
a = \( \frac{-39}{31} \)
a = -1\(\frac{8}{31}\)

If c = 7 and z = 2, what is the value of 4c(c - z)?

69% Answer Correctly
10
140
30
63

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.)

4c(c - z)
4(7)(7 - 2)
4(7)(5)
(28)(5)
140

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -9) and (2, 3). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
3
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -9) and (2, 3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(3.0) - (-9.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{12}{4} \)
m = 3


5

Solve 6b + 6b = 9b - 5x - 1 for b in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{5}\)x - \(\frac{2}{5}\)
x + \(\frac{1}{12}\)
-\(\frac{5}{6}\)x - 1
3\(\frac{2}{3}\)x + \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

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

6b + 6x = 9b - 5x - 1
6b = 9b - 5x - 1 - 6x
6b - 9b = -5x - 1 - 6x
-3b = -11x - 1
b = \( \frac{-11x - 1}{-3} \)
b = \( \frac{-11x}{-3} \) + \( \frac{-1}{-3} \)
b = 3\(\frac{2}{3}\)x + \(\frac{1}{3}\)
