Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


2

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

right angle

equal angle

equal length

parallel


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


3

Solve for x:
2x + 1 > \( \frac{x}{-5} \)

44% Answer Correctly
x > 2
x > \(\frac{1}{4}\)
x > \(\frac{12}{13}\)
x > -\(\frac{5}{11}\)

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.

2x + 1 > \( \frac{x}{-5} \)
-5 x (2x + 1) > x
(-5 x 2x) + (-5 x 1) > x
-10x - 5 > x
-10x - 5 - x > 0
-10x - x > 5
-11x > 5
x > \( \frac{5}{-11} \)
x > -\(\frac{5}{11}\)


4

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

75% Answer Correctly

factoring

squaring

normalizing

deconstructing


Solution

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


5

Solve for a:
-a + 3 < 4 - 2a

55% Answer Correctly
a < -\(\frac{1}{4}\)
a < \(\frac{3}{7}\)
a < \(\frac{1}{7}\)
a < 1

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 + 3 < 4 - 2a
-a < 4 - 2a - 3
-a + 2a < 4 - 3
a < 1
