Simplify (5a)(4ab) - (2a2)(4b).

62% Answer Correctly
12a2b
54ab2
28ab2
54a2b

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.

(5a)(4ab) - (2a2)(4b)
(5 x 4)(a x a x b) - (2 x 4)(a2 x b)
(20)(a1+1 x b) - (8)(a2b)
20a2b - 8a2b
12a2b


2

If BD = 18 and AD = 21, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
13
3
8
10

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 = 21 - 18
AB = 3


3

If b = -4 and z = -5, what is the value of 2b(b - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
132
-30
-8
30

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

2b(b - z)
2(-4)(-4 + 5)
2(-4)(1)
(-8)(1)
-8


4

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 15?

71% Answer Correctly
15π
11π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 15π


5

Find the value of b:
6b + x = 5
4b + x = 4

42% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{4}{19}\)
1\(\frac{1}{29}\)
-6
\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of x:

6b + x = 5
x = 5 - 6b

then substitute the result (5 - 6b) into the second equation:

4b + 1(5 - 6b) = 4
4b + (1 x 5) + (1 x -6b) = 4
4b + 5 - 6b = 4
4b - 6b = 4 - 5
-2b = -1
b = \( \frac{-1}{-2} \)
b = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
