Simplify 3a x 8b.

85% Answer Correctly
24a2b2
11ab
24ab
24\( \frac{b}{a} \)

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.

3a x 8b = (3 x 8) (a x b) = 24ab


2

If a = c = 5, b = d = 9, and the blue angle = 79°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
15
45
35
54

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 9
a = 45


3

Simplify (4a)(9ab) + (7a2)(6b).

65% Answer Correctly
78a2b
-6ab2
-6a2b
78ab2

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)(9ab) + (7a2)(6b)
(4 x 9)(a x a x b) + (7 x 6)(a2 x b)
(36)(a1+1 x b) + (42)(a2b)
36a2b + 42a2b
78a2b


4

What is 2a + 6a?

80% Answer Correctly
12a2
a2
8a
8a2

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.

2a + 6a = 8a


5

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

87% Answer Correctly

division

pairs

addition

exponents


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)
