1

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

88% Answer Correctly

exponents

pairs

addition

division


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.)

Find the value of a:
6a + x = 6
-5a + 6x = -5

42% Answer Correctly
1
-\(\frac{1}{8}\)
1\(\frac{15}{31}\)
-1\(\frac{7}{46}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of x:

6a + x = 6
x = 6 - 6a

then substitute the result (6 - 6a) into the second equation:

-5a + 6(6 - 6a) = -5
-5a + (6 x 6) + (6 x -6a) = -5
-5a + 36 - 36a = -5
-5a - 36a = -5 - 36
-41a = -41
a = \( \frac{-41}{-41} \)
a = 1


3

If side a = 7, side b = 6, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{85} \)
\( \sqrt{8} \)
\( \sqrt{73} \)
5

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 62
c2 = 49 + 36
c2 = 85
c = \( \sqrt{85} \)


4

Simplify 4a x 2b.

85% Answer Correctly
8ab
6ab
8\( \frac{a}{b} \)
8a2b2

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.

4a x 2b = (4 x 2) (a x b) = 8ab


5

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

51% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

triangle

quadrilateral

rhombus


Solution

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