Find the value of c:
3c + z = 5
-2c + 5z = -8

42% Answer Correctly
3\(\frac{3}{5}\)
\(\frac{37}{50}\)
1\(\frac{16}{17}\)
-2

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of z:

3c + z = 5
z = 5 - 3c

then substitute the result (5 - 3c) into the second equation:

-2c + 5(5 - 3c) = -8
-2c + (5 x 5) + (5 x -3c) = -8
-2c + 25 - 15c = -8
-2c - 15c = -8 - 25
-17c = -33
c = \( \frac{-33}{-17} \)
c = 1\(\frac{16}{17}\)


2

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

92% Answer Correctly

all of these

origin

x-axis

y-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.


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, 4). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-2
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
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, -4) and (2, 4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (-4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2


4

Solve 7a + 7a = 6a - 5x + 8 for a in terms of x.

35% Answer Correctly
-4x + 2
11x - 9
x - \(\frac{8}{11}\)
-12x + 8

Solution

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

7a + 7x = 6a - 5x + 8
7a = 6a - 5x + 8 - 7x
7a - 6a = -5x + 8 - 7x
a = -12x + 8


5

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

76% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.
