What is 3a6 - 4a6?

73% Answer Correctly
-1a6
a612
7
12a6

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.

3a6 - 4a6 = -1a6


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


3

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

right angle

equal angle

equal length

parallel


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


4

Simplify (3a)(5ab) - (2a2)(5b).

59% Answer Correctly
-5ab2
25a2b
5a2b
25ab2

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.

(3a)(5ab) - (2a2)(5b)
(3 x 5)(a x a x b) - (2 x 5)(a2 x b)
(15)(a1+1 x b) - (10)(a2b)
15a2b - 10a2b
5a2b


5

If angle a = 30° and angle b = 45° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
95°
120°
58°
105°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 30° - 45° = 105°
