2

Simplify (7a)(2ab) + (4a2)(3b).

65% Answer Correctly
26ab2
2ab2
63a2b
26a2b

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.

(7a)(2ab) + (4a2)(3b)
(7 x 2)(a x a x b) + (4 x 3)(a2 x b)
(14)(a1+1 x b) + (12)(a2b)
14a2b + 12a2b
26a2b

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

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

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add 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.


4

If c = 5 and z = -2, what is the value of 9c(c - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
360
84
-352
315

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.)

9c(c - z)
9(5)(5 + 2)
9(5)(7)
(45)(7)
315


5

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

Odd

First

Inside

Last


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.
