Solve 7a - 5a = -7a + 9y - 3 for a in terms of y.

35% Answer Correctly
y - \(\frac{3}{14}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{6}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-y + 9
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 2

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 - 5y = -7a + 9y - 3
7a = -7a + 9y - 3 + 5y
7a + 7a = 9y - 3 + 5y
14a = 14y - 3
a = \( \frac{14y - 3}{14} \)
a = \( \frac{14y}{14} \) + \( \frac{-3}{14} \)
a = y - \(\frac{3}{14}\)


2

Solve for x:
x2 + 13x + 42 = 0

59% Answer Correctly
1 or -3
-6 or -7
8 or -1
7 or -2

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

x2 + 13x + 42 = 0
(x + 6)(x + 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x + 6) or (x + 7) must equal zero:

If (x + 6) = 0, x must equal -6
If (x + 7) = 0, x must equal -7

So the solution is that x = -6 or -7


3

If AD = 29 and BD = 28, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
9
18
1
20

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 29 - 28
AB = 1


4

Simplify (6a)(7ab) - (7a2)(2b).

62% Answer Correctly
56ab2
56a2b
117a2b
28a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(6a)(7ab) - (7a2)(2b)
(6 x 7)(a x a x b) - (7 x 2)(a2 x b)
(42)(a1+1 x b) - (14)(a2b)
42a2b - 14a2b
28a2b


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 3 and radius (r) = 9. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
144π
243π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(92 x 3)
v = 243π
