If angle a = 48° and angle b = 67° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
73°
80°
65°
85°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 48° - 67° = 65°


2

Solve 6c + 9c = 7c + 9x - 8 for c in terms of x.

35% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{1}{3}\)x + 2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-\(\frac{8}{9}\)x + \(\frac{4}{9}\)
-6x + 4
x + 8

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.

6c + 9x = 7c + 9x - 8
6c = 7c + 9x - 8 - 9x
6c - 7c = 9x - 8 - 9x
-c = - 8
c = \( \frac{ - 8}{-1} \)
c = \( \frac{}{-1} \) + \( \frac{-8}{-1} \)
c = x + 8


3

Find the value of b:
-4b + z = -5
-6b + 5z = 7

42% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{8}{47}\)
-\(\frac{1}{33}\)
2\(\frac{2}{7}\)

Solution

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

-4b + z = -5
z = -5 + 4b

then substitute the result (-5 - -4b) into the second equation:

-6b + 5(-5 + 4b) = 7
-6b + (5 x -5) + (5 x 4b) = 7
-6b - 25 + 20b = 7
-6b + 20b = 7 + 25
14b = 32
b = \( \frac{32}{14} \)
b = 2\(\frac{2}{7}\)


4

Simplify (y + 9)(y - 7)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 - 16y + 63
y2 - 2y - 63
y2 + 2y - 63
y2 + 16y + 63

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 + 9)(y - 7)
(y x y) + (y x -7) + (9 x y) + (9 x -7)
y2 - 7y + 9y - 63
y2 + 2y - 63


5

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

76% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

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