If a = 5 and x = 1, what is the value of -2a(a - x)?

68% Answer Correctly
-12
245
-40
728

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.)

-2a(a - x)
-2(5)(5 - 1)
-2(5)(4)
(-10)(4)
-40

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If d° = 160, what is the value of z°?

73% Answer Correctly
168
20
160
167

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with d° = 160, the value of z° is 20.


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 7. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
90
63
336
32

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 8 x 7
v = 336


4

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

x-axis

y-axis

origin

all of these


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


5

If AD = 12 and BD = 7, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
1
5
4
20

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 12 - 7
AB = 5
