Solve for x:
-4x + 2 = 3 - 3x

60% Answer Correctly
6
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-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.

-4x + 2 = 3 - 3x
-4x = 3 - 3x - 2
-4x + 3x = 3 - 2
-x = 1
x = \( \frac{1}{-1} \)
x = -1


2

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

quadrilateral

triangle

rhombus


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


3

What is 8a + 4a?

81% Answer Correctly
12a2
12a
32a2
4a2

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 + 4a = 12a


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 4. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
25π
448π
72π
112π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(42 x 7)
v = 112π


5

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

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

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


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.
