Solve 4 + (2 + 3) ÷ 3 x 3 - 22

52% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
1
5

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

4 + (2 + 3) ÷ 3 x 3 - 22
P: 4 + (5) ÷ 3 x 3 - 22
E: 4 + 5 ÷ 3 x 3 - 4
MD: 4 + \( \frac{5}{3} \) x 3 - 4
MD: 4 + \( \frac{15}{3} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{12}{3} \) + \( \frac{15}{3} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{27}{3} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{27 - 12}{3} \)
\( \frac{15}{3} \)

What is a2 + 8a2?

66% Answer Correctly
9a4
9a-4
9a2
-7a2

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:

1a2 + 8a2
(1 + 8)a2
9a2


3

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
31
25
30
27

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31


4

Which of the following is not an integer?

77% Answer Correctly

0

1

-1

5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
5
19
7
11

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 2
a6 = 9 + 2
a6 = 11
