What is -4b3 + 8b3?

66% Answer Correctly
12b3
4b-6
-12b-3
4b3

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:

-4b3 + 8b3
(-4 + 8)b3
4b3


2

3

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 25% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $10, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$2.50
$12.00
$14.50
$17.50

Solution

By buying two shirts, Monty will save $10 x \( \frac{25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$10 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{$250}{100} \) = $2.50 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$10.00 + ($10.00 - $2.50)
$10.00 + $7.50
$17.50

Solve 3 + (5 + 4) ÷ 5 x 3 - 32

53% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-\(\frac{3}{5}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{3}{7}\)

Solution

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

3 + (5 + 4) ÷ 5 x 3 - 32
P: 3 + (9) ÷ 5 x 3 - 32
E: 3 + 9 ÷ 5 x 3 - 9
MD: 3 + \( \frac{9}{5} \) x 3 - 9
MD: 3 + \( \frac{27}{5} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{15}{5} \) + \( \frac{27}{5} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{42}{5} \) - 9
AS: \( \frac{42 - 45}{5} \)
\( \frac{-3}{5} \)
-\(\frac{3}{5}\)


5
