Solve for a:
-7a - 1 = 3 - 3a

58% Answer Correctly
-1
4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
7
1

Solution

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-7a - 1 = 3 - 3a
-7a = 3 - 3a + 1
-7a + 3a = 3 + 1
-4a = 4
a = \( \frac{4}{-4} \)
a = -1


2

If AD = 11 and BD = 6, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
5
19
20
1

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 = 11 - 6
AB = 5


3

Simplify 4a x 8b.

85% Answer Correctly
32\( \frac{a}{b} \)
12ab
32ab
32\( \frac{b}{a} \)

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.

4a x 8b = (4 x 8) (a x b) = 32ab


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π d2

a = π r2

a = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

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

49% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

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).
