What is 6a3 - 5a3?

73% Answer Correctly
a36
a6
30a3
1a3

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.

6a3 - 5a3 = 1a3

Solve for c:
c2 + 13c + 47 = -c + 2

48% Answer Correctly
-5 or -9
1 or -3
9 or -3
9 or -9

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

c2 + 13c + 47 = -c + 2
c2 + 13c + 47 - 2 = -c
c2 + 13c + c + 45 = 0
c2 + 14c + 45 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

c2 + 14c + 45 = 0
(c + 5)(c + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c + 5) or (c + 9) must equal zero:

If (c + 5) = 0, c must equal -5
If (c + 9) = 0, c must equal -9

So the solution is that c = -5 or -9


3

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

rhombus

triangle

quadrilateral


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


4

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

addition

division

exponents

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)

If BD = 29 and AD = 30, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
3
19
18
1

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 = 30 - 29
AB = 1
