1

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

76% Answer Correctly

problem

formula

equation

expression


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to 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.


2

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

π r2h

2(π r2) + 2π rh

4π r2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

monomial

polynomial

binomial

quadratic


Solution

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


4

If a = c = 3, b = d = 8, and the blue angle = 52°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
81
24
48
40

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 8
a = 24


5

Solve -3b - 7b = 8b + 2y - 9 for b in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
-3\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
6y - 1
-\(\frac{9}{11}\)y + \(\frac{9}{11}\)
-\(\frac{1}{6}\)y + \(\frac{1}{12}\)

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.

-3b - 7y = 8b + 2y - 9
-3b = 8b + 2y - 9 + 7y
-3b - 8b = 2y - 9 + 7y
-11b = 9y - 9
b = \( \frac{9y - 9}{-11} \)
b = \( \frac{9y}{-11} \) + \( \frac{-9}{-11} \)
b = -\(\frac{9}{11}\)y + \(\frac{9}{11}\)
