Simplify (5a)(5ab) - (9a2)(8b).
| 97a2b | |
| 170ab2 | |
| -47a2b | |
| 170a2b |
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.
(5a)(5ab) - (9a2)(8b)
(5 x 5)(a x a x b) - (9 x 8)(a2 x b)
(25)(a1+1 x b) - (72)(a2b)
25a2b - 72a2b
-47a2b

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.
Solve for z:
9z + 8 < 9 + 4z
| z < -1\(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| z < \(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| z < -\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| z < -1 |
To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.
9z + 8 < 9 + 4z
9z < 9 + 4z - 8
9z - 4z < 9 - 8
5z < 1
z < \( \frac{1}{5} \)
z < \(\frac{1}{5}\)
If a = c = 7, b = d = 8, and the blue angle = 68°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:
a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 8
a = 56
Simplify (8a)(5ab) + (5a2)(7b).
| 5a2b | |
| -5a2b | |
| 75a2b | |
| -5ab2 |
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.
(8a)(5ab) + (5a2)(7b)
(8 x 5)(a x a x b) + (5 x 7)(a2 x b)
(40)(a1+1 x b) + (35)(a2b)
40a2b + 35a2b
75a2b
