Solve for c:
-4c + 3 = 5 + 6c

59% Answer Correctly
-2
3
-\(\frac{1}{5}\)
1\(\frac{2}{3}\)

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.

-4c + 3 = 5 + 6c
-4c = 5 + 6c - 3
-4c - 6c = 5 - 3
-10c = 2
c = \( \frac{2}{-10} \)
c = -\(\frac{1}{5}\)


2

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π d2

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.


3

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

equal angle

equal length

parallel

right angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


4

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

74% Answer Correctly

normalizing

deconstructing

squaring

factoring


Solution

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


5

Solve for z:
z + 4 = \( \frac{z}{-9} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-4
-\(\frac{8}{9}\)
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
-3\(\frac{3}{5}\)

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.

z + 4 = \( \frac{z}{-9} \)
-9 x (z + 4) = z
(-9 x z) + (-9 x 4) = z
-9z - 36 = z
-9z - 36 - z = 0
-9z - z = 36
-10z = 36
z = \( \frac{36}{-10} \)
z = -3\(\frac{3}{5}\)
