1

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

69% Answer Correctly
-198
96
-100
-12

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.)

-5c(c - x)
-5(-5)(-5 + 1)
-5(-5)(-4)
(25)(-4)
-100


2

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

c - a

a2 - c2

c2 + a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 4, length (l) = 7, and width (w) = 9. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
16
252
210
108

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 4 x 7 x 9
v = 252


4

Solve for y:
-2y - 4 < \( \frac{y}{3} \)

45% Answer Correctly
y < -\(\frac{27}{62}\)
y < -1\(\frac{5}{7}\)
y < 2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
y < \(\frac{24}{25}\)

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 < sign and the answer on the other.

-2y - 4 < \( \frac{y}{3} \)
3 x (-2y - 4) < y
(3 x -2y) + (3 x -4) < y
-6y - 12 < y
-6y - 12 - y < 0
-6y - y < 12
-7y < 12
y < \( \frac{12}{-7} \)
y < -1\(\frac{5}{7}\)


5

Simplify (2a)(9ab) + (7a2)(3b).

66% Answer Correctly
-3ab2
110ab2
39a2b
3a2b

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.

(2a)(9ab) + (7a2)(3b)
(2 x 9)(a x a x b) + (7 x 3)(a2 x b)
(18)(a1+1 x b) + (21)(a2b)
18a2b + 21a2b
39a2b
