Solve -8a - 7a = 2a - 8x + 3 for a in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{6}\)x - 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{10}\)x - \(\frac{3}{10}\)
12x + 3
\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1\(\frac{3}{4}\)

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.

-8a - 7x = 2a - 8x + 3
-8a = 2a - 8x + 3 + 7x
-8a - 2a = -8x + 3 + 7x
-10a = -x + 3
a = \( \frac{-x + 3}{-10} \)
a = \( \frac{-x}{-10} \) + \( \frac{3}{-10} \)
a = \(\frac{1}{10}\)x - \(\frac{3}{10}\)

If a = c = 6, b = d = 7, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
42
6
21
12

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 6 x 7
a = 42


3

If BD = 13 and AD = 23, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
6
2
10
12

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 = 23 - 13
AB = 10


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 7. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
110
112
38
180

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 1 x 7) + (2 x 7 x 6) + (2 x 1 x 6)
sa = (14) + (84) + (12)
sa = 110


5

If side x = 10cm, side y = 5cm, and side z = 6cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
21cm
25cm
19cm
32cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 10cm + 5cm + 6cm = 21cm
