If a = 7 and x = -7, what is the value of 6a(a - x)?

68% Answer Correctly
588
12
144
72

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.)

6a(a - x)
6(7)(7 + 7)
6(7)(14)
(42)(14)
588


2

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 19?

71% Answer Correctly
12π
16π
19π
15π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 19π


3

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

45°

90°

180°

360°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


4

What is 2a + 8a?

81% Answer Correctly
16a2
10a
10a2
-6a2

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.

2a + 8a = 10a


5

Solve for z:
z2 - 12z + 27 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-1 or -8
3 or 9
-6 or -8
-5 or -8

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

z2 - 12z + 27 = 0
(z - 3)(z - 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z - 3) or (z - 9) must equal zero:

If (z - 3) = 0, z must equal 3
If (z - 9) = 0, z must equal 9

So the solution is that z = 3 or 9
