Solve for y:
-9y - 5 = 4 - 4y

59% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{4}{5}\)
-1\(\frac{4}{5}\)
1\(\frac{1}{7}\)
-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.

-9y - 5 = 4 - 4y
-9y = 4 - 4y + 5
-9y + 4y = 4 + 5
-5y = 9
y = \( \frac{9}{-5} \)
y = -1\(\frac{4}{5}\)


2

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

normalizing

factoring

squaring

deconstructing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


3

What is 2a - 2a?

79% Answer Correctly
2
4a
4a2
0a

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

2a - 2a = 0a


4

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

y-axis

all of these

origin

x-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.

Solve for z:
4z + 4 = \( \frac{z}{-1} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{4}{5}\)
\(\frac{24}{49}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{20}\)
\(\frac{3}{16}\)

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.

4z + 4 = \( \frac{z}{-1} \)
-1 x (4z + 4) = z
(-1 x 4z) + (-1 x 4) = z
-4z - 4 = z
-4z - 4 - z = 0
-4z - z = 4
-5z = 4
z = \( \frac{4}{-5} \)
z = -\(\frac{4}{5}\)
