1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

3

5

2

4


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.

Solve for a:
-8a + 5 = -3 - 9a

59% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{4}\)
-8
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
1\(\frac{1}{7}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-8a + 5 = -3 - 9a
-8a = -3 - 9a - 5
-8a + 9a = -3 - 5
a = -8


3

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

91% Answer Correctly

pairs

exponents

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.)


4

What is 3a - 9a?

80% Answer Correctly
-6a
27a
12
a2

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.

3a - 9a = -6a


5

Simplify 7a x 4b.

86% Answer Correctly
28\( \frac{b}{a} \)
28ab
28a2b2
11ab

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 4b = (7 x 4) (a x b) = 28ab
