What is 6a7 + 4a7?

76% Answer Correctly
10a7
10a14
a714
24a14

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.

6a7 + 4a7 = 10a7


2

If side x = 11cm, side y = 8cm, and side z = 9cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
22cm
21cm
27cm
28cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 11cm + 8cm + 9cm = 28cm


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π d2

c = π d

c = π r2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

Solve -9a - 5a = -a + 4y + 2 for a in terms of y.

35% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)y + 1
2y + 1
-1\(\frac{1}{8}\)y - \(\frac{1}{4}\)
-\(\frac{1}{4}\)y - \(\frac{3}{4}\)

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.

-9a - 5y = -a + 4y + 2
-9a = -a + 4y + 2 + 5y
-9a + a = 4y + 2 + 5y
-8a = 9y + 2
a = \( \frac{9y + 2}{-8} \)
a = \( \frac{9y}{-8} \) + \( \frac{2}{-8} \)
a = -1\(\frac{1}{8}\)y - \(\frac{1}{4}\)


5

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

92% Answer Correctly

exponents

pairs

division

addition


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)
