Solve b - 2b = -4b + 9y - 7 for b in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
y + \(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{3}{13}\)y + \(\frac{8}{13}\)
-\(\frac{6}{11}\)y - \(\frac{1}{11}\)
2\(\frac{1}{5}\)y - 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)

Solution

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

b - 2y = -4b + 9y - 7
b = -4b + 9y - 7 + 2y
b + 4b = 9y - 7 + 2y
5b = 11y - 7
b = \( \frac{11y - 7}{5} \)
b = \( \frac{11y}{5} \) + \( \frac{-7}{5} \)
b = 2\(\frac{1}{5}\)y - 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)

What is 7a - 9a?

80% Answer Correctly
-2a
16
-2a2
16a2

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.

7a - 9a = -2a


3

Find the value of b:
b + z = -6
3b + 7z = 6

42% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{16}{29}\)
-12
-\(\frac{25}{57}\)
\(\frac{8}{21}\)

Solution

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

b + z = -6
z = -6 - b

then substitute the result (-6 - 1b) into the second equation:

3b + 7(-6 - b) = 6
3b + (7 x -6) + (7 x -b) = 6
3b - 42 - 7b = 6
3b - 7b = 6 + 42
-4b = 48
b = \( \frac{48}{-4} \)
b = -12


4

If a = c = 1, b = d = 2, and the blue angle = 70°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
56
36
64
2

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 2
a = 2


5

What is 5a4 - 7a4?

73% Answer Correctly
12a8
-2a4
12
35a8

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.

5a4 - 7a4 = -2a4
