Question 1
The graph of x^2 +14x+48 is shown below:
Select the correct answer from the list below:
A: 9a^3
B: 9a
C: 7a
D: 8a^2
CORRECT ANSWER: B: 9a
WORKED SOLUTION:
When adding algebra, simply collect like terms,
so in this example we have 1 + 3 + 5 = 9
so the answer is 9a
Question 2
Simplify 4b +4b+5b
Select the correct answer from the list below:
A: 13b^2
B: 13b
C: 12b
D: 14b
CORRECT ANSWER: B: 13b
WORKED SOLUTION:
When adding algebra, simply collect like terms,
so in this example we have 4 + 4 + 5 = 13
so the answer is 13b
Question 3
Simplify 2a -4a+5a
Select the correct answer from the list below:
A: a + 3a
B: -3a
C: a
D: 3a
CORRECT ANSWER: D:3a
WORKED SOLUTION:
Working from left to right,
there is 2a-4a = -2a
then -2a+5a=3a
Question 4
Simplify 3x+4y+2x-6y+11
Select the correct answer from the list below:
A: 15xy + 11
B: 10x + 5y +11
C: 5x+10y+11
D: 26xy
CORRECT ANSWER: C:5x+10y+11
WORKED SOLUTION:
Collect like terms,
so 3x+2x = 5x and 4y +6y = 10y
and then 11 on its own.
These are then added together to get the final answer.
Question 5
Simplify -5x+6y+2x+2y+20-1
Select the correct answer from the list below:
A: -3x+8y+19
B: 3x-8y+19
C: -8x+3y+19
D: -3x-8y+19
CORRECT ANSWER:A:-3x+8y+19
WORKED SOLUTION:
Collect like terms,
so -5x+2x = -3x and 6y +2y = 8y
and then 20-1=19 on its own.
These are then added together to get the final answer.
