Simplify 2a x 2b.

86% Answer Correctly
4\( \frac{b}{a} \)
4\( \frac{a}{b} \)
4ab
4a2b2

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.

2a x 2b = (2 x 2) (a x b) = 4ab


2

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

46% Answer Correctly

midpoints

bisects

trisects

intersects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


3

Simplify (9a)(8ab) + (5a2)(5b).

65% Answer Correctly
97a2b
47a2b
-47ab2
170a2b

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.

(9a)(8ab) + (5a2)(5b)
(9 x 8)(a x a x b) + (5 x 5)(a2 x b)
(72)(a1+1 x b) + (25)(a2b)
72a2b + 25a2b
97a2b


4

Solve for b:
-7b - 5 < 8 - 6b

55% Answer Correctly
b < 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
b < -\(\frac{4}{5}\)
b < -1\(\frac{4}{5}\)
b < -13

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-7b - 5 < 8 - 6b
-7b < 8 - 6b + 5
-7b + 6b < 8 + 5
-b < 13
b < \( \frac{13}{-1} \)
b < -13


5

If side x = 9cm, side y = 11cm, and side z = 15cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
30cm
35cm
26cm
20cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 9cm + 11cm + 15cm = 35cm
