    (2x10^3) x (2x10^6) x (2x10^12) = ?

    Multiply the 2's together: 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 Multiply the 10 with exponent terms together: 10^3 x 10^6 * 10^12 = 10^(3 + 6 + 12) = 10^21 Group both results: 8 x 10^21

    Which of the following is equivalent to the sum of the expression a^2 - 1 and a + 1?

    Which of the following is equivalent to the sum of the expression a^2 - 1 and a + 1? A) a^2 + a B) a^3 - 1 C) 2a^2 D) a^3 a^2 - 1 + a + 1 The 1's cancel, so we're left with: a^2 + a - Answer A

    Which of the following is equivalent to 9^3/4?

    Which of the following is equivalent to 9^3/4? a) 9^1/3 b) 9 ^ 1/4 c) sqrt(3) d) 3 * sqrt(3) Since 9 is 3^2, we have 3^(3*2/4) which is 3^6/4 Since 6/4 is 3/2, we have: 3^(3/2) Since 3/2 is 1 + 1/2, we have: 3^1*sqrt(3) 3*sqrt(3) or option D.

    If (a - b)/b = 3/7, which of the following must also be true?

    If (a - b)/b = 3/7, which of the following must also be true? A) a/b = -4/7 B) a/b = 10/7 C) (a + b)/b = 10/7 D) (a - 2b)/b = -11/7 We can rewrite (a - b)/b as: a/b - b/b = 3/7 Since b/b = 1, we have: a/b - 1 = 3/7 Since -1 = -7/7, we have: a/b - 7/7 = 3/7 Add 7/7 to each side: a/b - 7/7 +...

    If x = 2y/3 and y = 18, what is the value of 2x - 3?

    If x = 2y/3 and y = 18, what is the value of 2x - 3? A) 21 B) 15 C) 12 D) 10 Substitute the values into the equation: 2(2y/3) - 3 <-- Given x = 2y/3 Simplifying, we have: 4y/3 - 3 Now substitute y = 18 into this: 4(18)/3 - 3 4(6) - 3 24 - 3 21 or Answer A

    If 3(c + d) = 5, what is the value of c + d?

    If 3(c + d) = 5, what is the value of c + d? A) 3/5 B) 5/3 C) 3 D) 5 Divide each side of the equation by 3 to isolate c + d 3(c + d)/3 = 5/3 Cancel the 3's on the left side, we get: c + d = 5/3, or answer B

    If (x - 1)/3 = k and k = 2, what is the value of x?

    If (x - 1)/3 = k and k = 2, what is the value of x? If k = 2, we have: (x - 1)/3 = 2 Cross multiply: x - 1 = 3 * 2 x - 1 = 6 Type this equation into the search engine, we get: x = 7
