Find the value of c:
2c + y = 9
6c + 9y = -9

42% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{2}{21}\)
7\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{33}{43}\)
-\(\frac{71}{77}\)

Solution

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

2c + y = 9
y = 9 - 2c

then substitute the result (9 - 2c) into the second equation:

6c + 9(9 - 2c) = -9
6c + (9 x 9) + (9 x -2c) = -9
6c + 81 - 18c = -9
6c - 18c = -9 - 81
-12c = -90
c = \( \frac{-90}{-12} \)
c = 7\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

origin

y-axis

all of these

x-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


3

If a = 3, b = 9, c = 5, and d = 4, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
23
21
14
30

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 3 + 9 + 5 + 4
p = 21


4

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


5

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

lw x wh + lh

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h x l x w

h2 x l2 x w2


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.
