What is 6a7 + 9a7?

74% Answer Correctly
15a7
15
-3
54a14

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.

6a7 + 9a7 = 15a7


2

If b = -1 and y = 1, what is the value of -7b(b - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
0
-54
-210
-14

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.)

-7b(b - y)
-7(-1)(-1 - 1)
-7(-1)(-2)
(7)(-2)
-14


3

If a = 4, b = 9, c = 5, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
20
21
14
18

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 4 + 9 + 5 + 2
p = 20


4

Simplify (3a)(6ab) + (2a2)(7b).

65% Answer Correctly
32a2b
-4a2b
4a2b
81a2b

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)(6ab) + (2a2)(7b)
(3 x 6)(a x a x b) + (2 x 7)(a2 x b)
(18)(a1+1 x b) + (14)(a2b)
18a2b + 14a2b
32a2b


5

If side x = 15cm, side y = 6cm, and side z = 9cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
29cm
38cm
30cm
23cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 15cm + 6cm + 9cm = 30cm
