Find the value of c:
-7c + z = -6
2c - z = 8

41% Answer Correctly
1
-\(\frac{2}{5}\)
-\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{17}{65}\)

Solution

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

-7c + z = -6
z = -6 + 7c

then substitute the result (-6 - -7c) into the second equation:

2c - 1(-6 + 7c) = 8
2c + (-1 x -6) + (-1 x 7c) = 8
2c + 6 - 7c = 8
2c - 7c = 8 - 6
-5c = 2
c = \( \frac{2}{-5} \)
c = -\(\frac{2}{5}\)

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

x-intercept

slope

y-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


3

If angle a = 34° and angle b = 62° what is the length of angle c?

70% Answer Correctly
116°
65°
72°
84°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 34° - 62° = 84°


4

What is 3a + 8a?

80% Answer Correctly
11a
11
a2
-5a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

3a + 8a = 11a


5

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

76% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π d

a = π r

a = π d2


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.
