What is 6a7 - 4a7?

74% Answer Correctly
24a14
2a7
a714
10

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.

6a7 - 4a7 = 2a7


2

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 8, c = 7, d = 5, and h = 3. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
19\(\frac{1}{2}\)
32
25

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(8 + 5)(3)
a = ½(13)(3)
a = ½(39) = \( \frac{39}{2} \)
a = 19\(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

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

58% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 1). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(1.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

Solve 8a + 6a = -5a + x + 8 for a in terms of x.

35% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{11}\)x + \(\frac{3}{11}\)
-\(\frac{5}{13}\)x + \(\frac{8}{13}\)
-11x + 6
-1\(\frac{1}{6}\)x + \(\frac{1}{3}\)

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.

8a + 6x = -5a + x + 8
8a = -5a + x + 8 - 6x
8a + 5a = x + 8 - 6x
13a = -5x + 8
a = \( \frac{-5x + 8}{13} \)
a = \( \frac{-5x}{13} \) + \( \frac{8}{13} \)
a = -\(\frac{5}{13}\)x + \(\frac{8}{13}\)
