What is 9a3 + 5a3?

75% Answer Correctly
14a3
14
4a6
14a6

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.

9a3 + 5a3 = 14a3


2

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

rhombus

quadrilateral

triangle

trapezoid


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


3

What is 6a + 6a?

81% Answer Correctly
36a2
12a
12a2
36a

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.

6a + 6a = 12a


4

Simplify 7a x 5b.

86% Answer Correctly
35\( \frac{b}{a} \)
35a2b2
35ab
35\( \frac{a}{b} \)

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.

7a x 5b = (7 x 5) (a x b) = 35ab


5

Solve 7a + 6a = 5a - 5z - 1 for a in terms of z.

35% Answer Correctly
-5\(\frac{1}{2}\)z - \(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{11}{16}\)z - \(\frac{3}{16}\)
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)z + 1\(\frac{3}{4}\)
-\(\frac{1}{15}\)z + \(\frac{1}{15}\)

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.

7a + 6z = 5a - 5z - 1
7a = 5a - 5z - 1 - 6z
7a - 5a = -5z - 1 - 6z
2a = -11z - 1
a = \( \frac{-11z - 1}{2} \)
a = \( \frac{-11z}{2} \) + \( \frac{-1}{2} \)
a = -5\(\frac{1}{2}\)z - \(\frac{1}{2}\)
