1

If a = c = 1, b = d = 9, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
6
49
14
9

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 9
a = 9


2

Solve for b:
6b + 8 = \( \frac{b}{3} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{12}{13}\)
-\(\frac{8}{11}\)
-1\(\frac{7}{17}\)
\(\frac{9}{17}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

6b + 8 = \( \frac{b}{3} \)
3 x (6b + 8) = b
(3 x 6b) + (3 x 8) = b
18b + 24 = b
18b + 24 - b = 0
18b - b = -24
17b = -24
b = \( \frac{-24}{17} \)
b = -1\(\frac{7}{17}\)


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

78% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π d

a = π r

a = π r2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

Solve -2a + 5a = -8a - 3z - 9 for a in terms of z.

35% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{7}\)z - 1
-13z - 4
-1\(\frac{1}{3}\)z - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{8}\)z + 1\(\frac{1}{8}\)

Solution

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

-2a + 5z = -8a - 3z - 9
-2a = -8a - 3z - 9 - 5z
-2a + 8a = -3z - 9 - 5z
6a = -8z - 9
a = \( \frac{-8z - 9}{6} \)
a = \( \frac{-8z}{6} \) + \( \frac{-9}{6} \)
a = -1\(\frac{1}{3}\)z - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

Simplify (2a)(9ab) + (8a2)(4b).

66% Answer Correctly
132ab2
-14a2b
14a2b
50a2b

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)(9ab) + (8a2)(4b)
(2 x 9)(a x a x b) + (8 x 4)(a2 x b)
(18)(a1+1 x b) + (32)(a2b)
18a2b + 32a2b
50a2b
