1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 8. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
84
54
224
18

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 7 x 4 x 8
v = 224


2

Simplify (5a)(9ab) - (3a2)(3b).

62% Answer Correctly
36a2b
84a2b
-36ab2
54ab2

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.

(5a)(9ab) - (3a2)(3b)
(5 x 9)(a x a x b) - (3 x 3)(a2 x b)
(45)(a1+1 x b) - (9)(a2b)
45a2b - 9a2b
36a2b


3

If b = 2 and y = -6, what is the value of -5b(b - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
-120
-80
180
60

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.)

-5b(b - y)
-5(2)(2 + 6)
-5(2)(8)
(-10)(8)
-80


4

Solve for z:
2z + 3 < 1 - 9z

55% Answer Correctly
z < -\(\frac{2}{3}\)
z < -\(\frac{2}{11}\)
z < 1
z < 7

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 < sign and the answer on the other.

2z + 3 < 1 - 9z
2z < 1 - 9z - 3
2z + 9z < 1 - 3
11z < -2
z < \( \frac{-2}{11} \)
z < -\(\frac{2}{11}\)


5

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

76% Answer Correctly

problem

formula

expression

equation


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to 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.
