What is 4a - 2a?

80% Answer Correctly
8a
6a2
8a2
2a

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.

4a - 2a = 2a


2

What is 8a + 5a?

81% Answer Correctly
13a
3
13a2
40a

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 + 5a = 13a


3

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 9. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
208π
112π
24π
234π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(92) + 2π(9 x 4)
sa = 2π(81) + 2π(36)
sa = (2 x 81)π + (2 x 36)π
sa = 162π + 72π
sa = 234π


5

Solve -6a + 4a = 8a - 2z + 1 for a in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{7}\)z - \(\frac{1}{14}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)z - 1
-\(\frac{2}{5}\)z + \(\frac{2}{5}\)
-\(\frac{2}{3}\)z + \(\frac{5}{9}\)

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.

-6a + 4z = 8a - 2z + 1
-6a = 8a - 2z + 1 - 4z
-6a - 8a = -2z + 1 - 4z
-14a = -6z + 1
a = \( \frac{-6z + 1}{-14} \)
a = \( \frac{-6z}{-14} \) + \( \frac{1}{-14} \)
a = \(\frac{3}{7}\)z - \(\frac{1}{14}\)
