Simplify (2a)(5ab) + (7a2)(7b).

65% Answer Correctly
39ab2
39a2b
59a2b
59ab2

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.

(2a)(5ab) + (7a2)(7b)
(2 x 5)(a x a x b) + (7 x 7)(a2 x b)
(10)(a1+1 x b) + (49)(a2b)
10a2b + 49a2b
59a2b


2

Solve 7c - c = -8c - 4x + 1 for c in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{1}{5}\)x + \(\frac{1}{15}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + \(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{6}\)x - 1\(\frac{1}{6}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

7c - x = -8c - 4x + 1
7c = -8c - 4x + 1 + x
7c + 8c = -4x + 1 + x
15c = -3x + 1
c = \( \frac{-3x + 1}{15} \)
c = \( \frac{-3x}{15} \) + \( \frac{1}{15} \)
c = -\(\frac{1}{5}\)x + \(\frac{1}{15}\)


3

If the base of this triangle is 5 and the height is 4, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
10
24\(\frac{1}{2}\)
84
45\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 5 x 4 = \( \frac{20}{2} \) = 10


4

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


5

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 18?

71% Answer Correctly
12π
18π
20π
36π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 18)
c = 36π
