Simplify 5a x 8b.

86% Answer Correctly
40\( \frac{b}{a} \)
40\( \frac{a}{b} \)
40a2b2
40ab

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.

5a x 8b = (5 x 8) (a x b) = 40ab


2

If angle a = 67° and angle b = 38° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
117°
58°
51°
75°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 67° - 38° = 75°


3

Find the value of b:
-2b + z = -3
6b + 2z = -6

42% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{8}\)
\(\frac{4}{69}\)
1\(\frac{1}{4}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of z:

-2b + z = -3
z = -3 + 2b

then substitute the result (-3 - -2b) into the second equation:

6b + 2(-3 + 2b) = -6
6b + (2 x -3) + (2 x 2b) = -6
6b - 6 + 4b = -6
6b + 4b = -6 + 6
10b = 0
b = \( \frac{0}{10} \)
b =


4

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


5

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.
