Find the value of c:
4c + x = 6
-3c - x = 2

42% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{16}{21}\)
1\(\frac{7}{9}\)
5\(\frac{5}{6}\)
8

Solution

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

4c + x = 6
x = 6 - 4c

then substitute the result (6 - 4c) into the second equation:

-3c - 1(6 - 4c) = 2
-3c + (-1 x 6) + (-1 x -4c) = 2
-3c - 6 + 4c = 2
-3c + 4c = 2 + 6
c = 8
c = \( \frac{8}{1} \)
c = 8


2

Simplify (9a)(7ab) - (9a2)(7b).

62% Answer Correctly
2b
0a2b
126ab2
b2

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)(7ab) - (9a2)(7b)
(9 x 7)(a x a x b) - (9 x 7)(a2 x b)
(63)(a1+1 x b) - (63)(a2b)
63a2b - 63a2b
0a2b


3

Solve for a:
a2 - 10a + 24 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
5 or -6
-5 or -6
4 or 6
8 or -9

Solution

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

a2 - 10a + 24 = 0
(a - 4)(a - 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (a - 4) or (a - 6) must equal zero:

If (a - 4) = 0, a must equal 4
If (a - 6) = 0, a must equal 6

So the solution is that a = 4 or 6


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 6 and radius (r) = 4. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
96π
729π
64π
49π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(42 x 6)
v = 96π


5

Simplify (y - 6)(y + 4)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 - 2y - 24
y2 - 10y + 24
y2 + 10y + 24
y2 + 2y - 24

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 - 6)(y + 4)
(y x y) + (y x 4) + (-6 x y) + (-6 x 4)
y2 + 4y - 6y - 24
y2 - 2y - 24
