Solve 9c + 10c = c - 9y + 4 for c in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{4}{5}\)y + \(\frac{1}{5}\)
-2\(\frac{3}{8}\)y + \(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
4y - 6

Solution

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

9c + 10y = c - 9y + 4
9c = c - 9y + 4 - 10y
9c - c = -9y + 4 - 10y
8c = -19y + 4
c = \( \frac{-19y + 4}{8} \)
c = \( \frac{-19y}{8} \) + \( \frac{4}{8} \)
c = -2\(\frac{3}{8}\)y + \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Simplify 9a x 8b.

86% Answer Correctly
72\( \frac{b}{a} \)
72ab
17ab
72a2b2

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.

9a x 8b = (9 x 8) (a x b) = 72ab


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 7. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
729π
16π
196π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(72 x 4)
v = 196π


4

If side x = 15cm, side y = 11cm, and side z = 12cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
25cm
30cm
35cm
38cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 15cm + 11cm + 12cm = 38cm

Solve for a:
a2 + 18a + 60 = 2a - 4

48% Answer Correctly
4 or 1
-8
-5 or -6
9 or -2

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

a2 + 18a + 60 = 2a - 4
a2 + 18a + 60 + 4 = 2a
a2 + 18a - 2a + 64 = 0
a2 + 16a + 64 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

a2 + 16a + 64 = 0
(a + 8)(a + 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, (a + 8) must equal zero:

If (a + 8) = 0, a must equal -8

So the solution is that a = -8
