What is 8a + 7a?

81% Answer Correctly
a2
15
15a
1

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.

8a + 7a = 15a


2

Solve for z:
z2 - 7z - 8 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-7 or -9
3 or -3
-1 or 8
7 or -8

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

z2 - 7z - 8 = 0
(z + 1)(z - 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z + 1) or (z - 8) must equal zero:

If (z + 1) = 0, z must equal -1
If (z - 8) = 0, z must equal 8

So the solution is that z = -1 or 8


3

If a = 4, b = 1, c = 8, and d = 1, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
22
8
14
31

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 4 + 1 + 8 + 1
p = 14


4

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h x l x w

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


5

If the base of this triangle is 4 and the height is 9, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
31\(\frac{1}{2}\)
52
18
78

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 4 x 9 = \( \frac{36}{2} \) = 18
