What is 9a5 - 8a5?

73% Answer Correctly
17
72a10
1a5
72a5

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.

9a5 - 8a5 = 1a5


2

Solve for y:
6y + 6 > \( \frac{y}{-5} \)

44% Answer Correctly
y > 1\(\frac{1}{11}\)
y > -2
y > -\(\frac{30}{31}\)
y > 1\(\frac{1}{41}\)

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.

6y + 6 > \( \frac{y}{-5} \)
-5 x (6y + 6) > y
(-5 x 6y) + (-5 x 6) > y
-30y - 30 > y
-30y - 30 - y > 0
-30y - y > 30
-31y > 30
y > \( \frac{30}{-31} \)
y > -\(\frac{30}{31}\)

74% Answer Correctly

normalizing

factoring

deconstructing

5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 4. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
96
216
168
126

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 9 x 4
v = 216
