1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 2, length (l) = 5, and width (w) = 2. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
162
42
20
189

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 2 x 5 x 2
v = 20


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -10) and (2, 2). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
2
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3
3

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -10) and (2, 2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(2.0) - (-10.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{12}{4} \)
m = 3


3

Simplify 3a x 8b.

86% Answer Correctly
24\( \frac{a}{b} \)
24ab
24\( \frac{b}{a} \)
24a2b2

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.

3a x 8b = (3 x 8) (a x b) = 24ab


4

Solve 4a + 2a = -2a - 3y + 3 for a in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{3}{10}\)y - \(\frac{7}{10}\)
8y - 9
-\(\frac{5}{6}\)y + \(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{5}{13}\)y + \(\frac{1}{13}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (a) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

4a + 2y = -2a - 3y + 3
4a = -2a - 3y + 3 - 2y
4a + 2a = -3y + 3 - 2y
6a = -5y + 3
a = \( \frac{-5y + 3}{6} \)
a = \( \frac{-5y}{6} \) + \( \frac{3}{6} \)
a = -\(\frac{5}{6}\)y + \(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

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

69% Answer Correctly
-275
-90
6
-20

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.)

b(b - x)
1(3)(3 - 1)
1(3)(2)
