What is 6a - 7a?

79% Answer Correctly
42a
42a2
-1a
13a2

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.

6a - 7a = -1a


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 1. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
22
68
58
62

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 4 x 1) + (2 x 1 x 6) + (2 x 4 x 6)
sa = (8) + (12) + (48)
sa = 68


3

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

53% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


4

Simplify 5a x 4b.

85% Answer Correctly
20\( \frac{b}{a} \)
20ab
20a2b2
9ab

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 x 4b = (5 x 4) (a x b) = 20ab


5

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

factoring

normalizing

deconstructing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
