1

What is 4a + 7a?

80% Answer Correctly
11
11a
-3a2
11a2

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.

4a + 7a = 11a


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 1. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
54
292
62
124

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 8 x 1) + (2 x 1 x 6) + (2 x 8 x 6)
sa = (16) + (12) + (96)
sa = 124


3

If side a = 3, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{58} \)
\( \sqrt{89} \)
\( \sqrt{113} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 72
c2 = 9 + 49
c2 = 58
c = \( \sqrt{58} \)


4

If b = 5 and z = 1, what is the value of -3b(b - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
144
448
-60
18

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.)

-3b(b - z)
-3(5)(5 - 1)
-3(5)(4)
(-15)(4)
-60


5

Solve for c:
9c + 3 < \( \frac{c}{5} \)

44% Answer Correctly
c < -10\(\frac{2}{7}\)
c < -\(\frac{3}{4}\)
c < -\(\frac{15}{44}\)
c < -3\(\frac{9}{11}\)

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.

9c + 3 < \( \frac{c}{5} \)
5 x (9c + 3) < c
(5 x 9c) + (5 x 3) < c
45c + 15 < c
45c + 15 - c < 0
45c - c < -15
44c < -15
c < \( \frac{-15}{44} \)
c < -\(\frac{15}{44}\)
