Simplify (4a)(6ab) - (4a2)(6b).

62% Answer Correctly
48a2b
0a2b
2b
b2

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)(6ab) - (4a2)(6b)
(4 x 6)(a x a x b) - (4 x 6)(a2 x b)
(24)(a1+1 x b) - (24)(a2b)
24a2b - 24a2b
0a2b


2

Simplify (5a)(5ab) + (6a2)(5b).

66% Answer Correctly
55a2b
5a2b
110a2b
-5a2b

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.

(5a)(5ab) + (6a2)(5b)
(5 x 5)(a x a x b) + (6 x 5)(a2 x b)
(25)(a1+1 x b) + (30)(a2b)
25a2b + 30a2b
55a2b


3

Find the value of c:
-4c + x = 6
7c - 5x = -8

42% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{5}{34}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{8}\)
-1\(\frac{9}{13}\)
-\(\frac{5}{6}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of x:

-4c + x = 6
x = 6 + 4c

then substitute the result (6 - -4c) into the second equation:

7c - 5(6 + 4c) = -8
7c + (-5 x 6) + (-5 x 4c) = -8
7c - 30 - 20c = -8
7c - 20c = -8 + 30
-13c = 22
c = \( \frac{22}{-13} \)
c = -1\(\frac{9}{13}\)


4

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 8) and (2, -4). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-1
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 8) and (2, -4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-4.0) - (8.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)
m = -3
