1

If angle a = 28° and angle b = 54° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
86°
98°
113°
82°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 28° - 54° = 98°

Solve -9a - 3a = -a - 8z + 4 for a in terms of z.

35% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{7}{11}\)z - \(\frac{2}{11}\)
\(\frac{5}{8}\)z - \(\frac{1}{2}\)
2z + 7
\(\frac{5}{6}\)z - \(\frac{1}{2}\)

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.

-9a - 3z = -a - 8z + 4
-9a = -a - 8z + 4 + 3z
-9a + a = -8z + 4 + 3z
-8a = -5z + 4
a = \( \frac{-5z + 4}{-8} \)
a = \( \frac{-5z}{-8} \) + \( \frac{4}{-8} \)
a = \(\frac{5}{8}\)z - \(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, 4). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 2x + 0
y = x + 0
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1
y = -2x - 1

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 0. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, 4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (-4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 2x + 0

Simplify (9a)(7ab) - (7a2)(5b).

63% Answer Correctly
-28ab2
192ab2
98a2b
28a2b

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) - (7a2)(5b)
(9 x 7)(a x a x b) - (7 x 5)(a2 x b)
(63)(a1+1 x b) - (35)(a2b)
63a2b - 35a2b
28a2b


5

If a = 5, b = 2, c = 4, and d = 1, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
22
23
12
20

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 5 + 2 + 4 + 1
p = 12
