Find the value of c:
4c + x = -6
9c + 3x = -8

42% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{5}{7}\)
-3\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{4}\)

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:

9c + 3(-6 - 4c) = -8
9c + (3 x -6) + (3 x -4c) = -8
9c - 18 - 12c = -8
9c - 12c = -8 + 18
-3c = 10
c = \( \frac{10}{-3} \)
c = -3\(\frac{1}{3}\)


2

If side a = 6, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{10} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{82} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 22
c2 = 36 + 4
c2 = 40
c = \( \sqrt{40} \)


3

If BD = 5 and AD = 11, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
16
14
6
1

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 = 11 - 5
AB = 6


4

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

midpoints

intersects

bisects

trisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


5

What is 8a - 8a?

79% Answer Correctly
a2
0a
16
64a

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

8a - 8a = 0a
