Example Questions

Example Question #321 : Algebraic Concepts

\(\displaystyle 17r*7r=\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 10r\)

\(\displaystyle 119r^{2}\)

\(\displaystyle 119r\)

\(\displaystyle 24r^{2}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 119r^{2}\)

Explanation:

Multiply the whole numbers, and raise the variable's exponent by one:

\(\displaystyle 17r*7r=119r^{2}\)

Answer: \(\displaystyle 119r^{2}\)

Example Question #322 : Algebraic Concepts

Solve for \(\displaystyle x\):

\(\displaystyle 2x+4=-2\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle x=-2\)

\(\displaystyle x=-1\)

\(\displaystyle x=-3\)

\(\displaystyle x=0\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle x=-3\)

Explanation:

\(\displaystyle 2x+4=-2\)

\(\displaystyle 2x+4-4=-2-4\)

\(\displaystyle 2x=-6\)

\(\displaystyle \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-6}{2}\)

\(\displaystyle x=-3\)

Example Question #323 : Algebraic Concepts

Solve for \(\displaystyle t\):

\(\displaystyle -\frac{t}{4}+7=\frac{5}{2}\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle t=38\)

\(\displaystyle t=18\)

\(\displaystyle t=8\)

\(\displaystyle t=-38\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle t=18\)

Explanation:

\(\displaystyle -\frac{t}{4}+7=\frac{5}{2}\)

\(\displaystyle 4(-\frac{t}{4}+7)=4(\frac{5}{2})\)

\(\displaystyle -t+28=10\)

\(\displaystyle -t+28-28=10-28\)

\(\displaystyle -t=-18\)

\(\displaystyle -1(-t)=-1(-18)\)

\(\displaystyle t=18\)

 

Example Question #922 : Concepts

Solve for \(\displaystyle n\):

\(\displaystyle \frac{n}{3}-4=2\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle n=18\)

\(\displaystyle n=2\)

\(\displaystyle n=6\)

\(\displaystyle n=12\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle n=18\)

Explanation:

\(\displaystyle \frac{n}{3}-4=2\)

\(\displaystyle \frac{n}{3}-4+4=2+4\)

\(\displaystyle \frac{n}{3}=6\)

\(\displaystyle (3)(\frac{n}{3})=(6)(3)\)

\(\displaystyle n=18\)

Example Question #324 : Algebraic Concepts

Multiply: \(\displaystyle 17n\ast 3n=\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 34n^{2}\)

\(\displaystyle 20n^{2}\)

\(\displaystyle 51n^{2}\)

\(\displaystyle 14n^{2}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 51n^{2}\)

Explanation:

Multiply the whole numbers, and add an exponent to the variable totalling the amount of exponents in the equation:

\(\displaystyle 17n*3n=51n^{2}\)

Answer: \(\displaystyle 51n^{2}\)

Example Question #325 : Algebraic Concepts

Multiply: \(\displaystyle 26s*10s=\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 26s^{2}\)

\(\displaystyle 260s^{2}\)

\(\displaystyle 16s^{2}\)

\(\displaystyle 2610s^{2}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 260s^{2}\)

Explanation:

Multiply the whole numbers, adding an exponent to the variable totalling the amount of variables in the equation:

\(\displaystyle 26s*10s=260s^{2}\)

Answer: \(\displaystyle 260s^{2}\)

Example Question #326 : Algebraic Concepts

\(\displaystyle 13^{2}=\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 152\)

\(\displaystyle 196\)

\(\displaystyle 169\)

\(\displaystyle 132\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 169\)

Explanation:

Multiply:\(\displaystyle 13\ast13=169\)

Answer: 169

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 102q^{3}\)

\(\displaystyle 31q^{3}\)

\(\displaystyle 37q^{3}\)

\(\displaystyle 102q^{2}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 102q^{3}\)

Explanation:

Multiply the whole numbers and add an exponent to the variable totalling the amount of variables in the equation:

\(\displaystyle 34q*3q^{2}=102q^{3}\)

Answer: \(\displaystyle 102q^{3}\)

Example Question #328 : Algebraic Concepts

\(\displaystyle 4r*28r=\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 428r^{2}\)

\(\displaystyle 32r^{2}\)

\(\displaystyle 24r^{2}\)

\(\displaystyle 112r^{2}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 112r^{2}\)

Explanation:

Multiply the whole numbers and add an exponent to the variable totaling the number of variables in the equation:

\(\displaystyle 4r*28r=112r^{2}\)

Answer: \(\displaystyle 112r^{2}\)

Example Question #329 : Algebraic Concepts

Multiply: \(\displaystyle 16g* 12g^{2}=\)

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 192g\)

\(\displaystyle 192g^{3}\)

\(\displaystyle 28g^{3}\)

\(\displaystyle 192g^{2}\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 192g^{3}\)

Explanation:
