1

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

45°

360°

180°

90°


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.


2

Simplify (9a)(2ab) - (9a2)(6b).

59% Answer Correctly
72a2b
-36a2b
72ab2
36ab2

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)(2ab) - (9a2)(6b)
(9 x 2)(a x a x b) - (9 x 6)(a2 x b)
(18)(a1+1 x b) - (54)(a2b)
18a2b - 54a2b
-36a2b


3

What is 3a6 - 4a6?

73% Answer Correctly
-1a6
-a12
12a12
12a6

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.

3a6 - 4a6 = -1a6


4

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

origin

y-axis

all of these

x-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


5

Solve for a:
-a + 7 > \( \frac{a}{3} \)

44% Answer Correctly
a > -\(\frac{12}{13}\)
a > -\(\frac{6}{7}\)
a > -\(\frac{9}{82}\)
a > 5\(\frac{1}{4}\)

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.

-a + 7 > \( \frac{a}{3} \)
3 x (-a + 7) > a
(3 x -a) + (3 x 7) > a
-3a + 21 > a
-3a + 21 - a > 0
-3a - a > -21
-4a > -21
a > \( \frac{-21}{-4} \)
a > 5\(\frac{1}{4}\)
