1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 6, and width (w) = 9. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
225
36
378
1

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 7 x 6 x 9
v = 378


2

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If z° = 14, what is the value of w°?

73% Answer Correctly
14
143
24
160

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 z° = 14, the value of w° is 14.

Solve for c:
-2c + 5 < 4 + 6c

55% Answer Correctly
c < \(\frac{1}{8}\)
c < -1
c < -8
c < \(\frac{7}{9}\)

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.

-2c + 5 < 4 + 6c
-2c < 4 + 6c - 5
-2c - 6c < 4 - 5
-8c < -1
c < \( \frac{-1}{-8} \)
c < \(\frac{1}{8}\)


4

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

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

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

all of these statements are correct


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.


5

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

65% Answer Correctly
176ab2
91ab2
35ab2
91a2b

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.

(9a)(7ab) + (7a2)(4b)
(9 x 7)(a x a x b) + (7 x 4)(a2 x b)
(63)(a1+1 x b) + (28)(a2b)
63a2b + 28a2b
91a2b
