3

What is 3a + 6a?

81% Answer Correctly
9a
18a2
9a2
-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.

3a + 6a = 9a


4

If b = 9 and z = 6, what is the value of -7b(b - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
-189
72
16
0

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.)

-7b(b - z)
-7(9)(9 - 6)
-7(9)(3)
(-63)(3)
-189


5

Solve -4a + 4a = a - z - 8 for a in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
z + 1\(\frac{3}{5}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{4}\)z + 1\(\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)z - 1
z - 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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.

-4a + 4z = a - z - 8
-4a = a - z - 8 - 4z
-4a - a = -z - 8 - 4z
-5a = -5z - 8
a = \( \frac{-5z - 8}{-5} \)
a = \( \frac{-5z}{-5} \) + \( \frac{-8}{-5} \)
a = z + 1\(\frac{3}{5}\)
