What is 6a8 + 2a8?

75% Answer Correctly
8a8
12a8
8a16
12a16

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

6a8 + 2a8 = 8a8


2

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

4

2

3

5


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


3

If a = 5 and z = -7, what is the value of 5a(a - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
-24
100
-60
300

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.)

5a(a - z)
5(5)(5 + 7)
5(5)(12)
(25)(12)
300


4

What is 5a + 3a?

81% Answer Correctly
8
8a
8a2
2a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

5a + 3a = 8a


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the area is length x width


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
