3

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

88% Answer Correctly

division

exponents

pairs

addition


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.)


4

What is 6a - 3a?

80% Answer Correctly
9
3a
a2
3

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.

6a - 3a = 3a


5

74% Answer Correctly

normalizing

deconstructing

squaring
