What is 5a - 6a?

80% Answer Correctly
-1a
30a
-1
11

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.

5a - 6a = -1a


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, -9). What is the slope of this line?

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

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, 1) and (2, -9) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-9.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)
m = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 3, length (l) = 5, and width (w) = 1. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
258
192
46
80

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 5 x 1) + (2 x 1 x 3) + (2 x 5 x 3)
sa = (10) + (6) + (30)
sa = 46


4

If side a = 8, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{113} \)
\( \sqrt{45} \)
\( \sqrt{106} \)
10

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 72
c2 = 64 + 49
c2 = 113
c = \( \sqrt{113} \)


5

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

pairs

addition

exponents

division


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)
