Solve 9b - 9b = -4b + 3y + 4 for b in terms of y.

35% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{7}{12}\)y - \(\frac{2}{3}\)
-1\(\frac{3}{7}\)y + \(\frac{4}{7}\)
y - \(\frac{9}{14}\)
\(\frac{12}{13}\)y + \(\frac{4}{13}\)

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.

9b - 9y = -4b + 3y + 4
9b = -4b + 3y + 4 + 9y
9b + 4b = 3y + 4 + 9y
13b = 12y + 4
b = \( \frac{12y + 4}{13} \)
b = \( \frac{12y}{13} \) + \( \frac{4}{13} \)
b = \(\frac{12}{13}\)y + \(\frac{4}{13}\)

If the base of this triangle is 6 and the height is 2, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)
54
15
6

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 6 x 2 = \( \frac{12}{2} \) = 6


3

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

all interior angles are right angles

the lengths of all sides are equal

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the area is length x width


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


4

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


5

Simplify (y - 9)(y + 1)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 - 8y - 9
y2 + 8y - 9
y2 - 10y + 9
y2 + 10y + 9

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 9)(y + 1)
(y x y) + (y x 1) + (-9 x y) + (-9 x 1)
y2 + y - 9y - 9
y2 - 8y - 9
