66% Answer Correctly
14x36
14x6
2x-6
14x-12

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

8x6 + 6x6
(8 + 6)x6
14x6

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

4 x 3

3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


3

A bread recipe calls for 2 cups of flour. If you only have 1\(\frac{3}{8}\) cups, how much more flour is needed?

62% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups
2\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups
\(\frac{3}{4}\) cups
\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups

Solution

The amount of flour you need is (2 - 1\(\frac{3}{8}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{16}{8} \) - \( \frac{11}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{5}{8} \) cups
\(\frac{5}{8}\) cups

7b3 x 3b2
(7 x 3)b(3 + 2)
21b5
