Solve for y:
-4y - 4 = -5 + 8y

59% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{6}\)
-\(\frac{7}{8}\)
\(\frac{1}{12}\)

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.

-4y - 4 = -5 + 8y
-4y = -5 + 8y + 4
-4y - 8y = -5 + 4
-12y = -1
y = \( \frac{-1}{-12} \)
y = \(\frac{1}{12}\)


2

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

54% Answer Correctly

π r2h

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h2

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

Solve 2c + 3c = -4c + 2y - 3 for c in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{1}{5}\)y + 1\(\frac{4}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)y - \(\frac{7}{12}\)
-\(\frac{1}{6}\)y - \(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{3}{11}\)y + \(\frac{6}{11}\)

Solution

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

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


4

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

2

5

4

3


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


5

Simplify (y + 7)(y - 8)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 + y - 56
y2 + 15y + 56
y2 - 15y + 56
y2 - y - 56

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y + 7)(y - 8)
(y x y) + (y x -8) + (7 x y) + (7 x -8)
y2 - 8y + 7y - 56
y2 - y - 56
