Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    9x + 24y

    • A. 

      3(3x + 8y)

    • B. 

      9x + 24y

    • C. 

      X(9 + 24)

    Correct Answer
    A. 3(3x + 8y)
    Explanation
    The given expression 9x + 24y is equivalent to the expression 3(3x + 8y) because when we distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses, we get 3 multiplied by 3x which is 9x, and 3 multiplied by 8y which is 24y. Therefore, the two expressions are equal. The answer 3(3x + 8y) is the correct one.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    7(y + 1) - x(y + 1) 

    • A. 

      7y + 7 - xy - x

    • B. 

      (y + 1)(7x)

    • C. 

      (y + 1)(7 - x)

    Correct Answer
    C. (y + 1)(7 - x)
    Explanation
    The given expression can be simplified by distributing the terms. First, distribute 7 to both y and 1, which gives 7y + 7. Then, distribute -x to both y and 1, which gives -xy - x. Combining these terms, we get 7y + 7 - xy - x. This matches the expression (y + 1)(7 - x), so the answer is (y + 1)(7 - x).

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    5(x + 2) + y(x + 2)

    • A. 

      (x + 2)(5 + y)

    • B. 

      5x + 10 + xy + 2y

    • C. 

      (2x)(5 + y)

    Correct Answer
    A. (x + 2)(5 + y)
    Explanation
    The given expression can be simplified by distributing the terms inside the parentheses. By doing so, we get 5x + 10 + xy + 2y. This matches the expression (x + 2)(5 + y), so it is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    20x - 10 

    • A. 

      10(2x - 1)

    • B. 

      2(10x - 5)

    • C. 

      10(x - 1)

    Correct Answer
    A. 10(2x - 1)
    Explanation
    The given expression 20x - 10 can be factored out as 10(2x - 1). This is the correct answer because when we distribute 10 to the terms inside the parentheses, we get 20x - 10, which matches the original expression.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    12mn + 18mp

    • A. 

      6m(2n + 3p)

    • B. 

      12(mn + 18mp)

    • C. 

      2(6mn + 9mp)

    Correct Answer
    A. 6m(2n + 3p)
    Explanation
    The given expression, 12mn + 18mp, can be factored out by taking out the common factors of 6m. This results in 6m(2n + 3p).

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    X(x - 1) + 5(x - 1) 

    • A. 

      (x - 1)(5 -x)

    • B. 

      (x - 1)(5x)

    • C. 

      (x - 1)(x + 5)

    Correct Answer
    C. (x - 1)(x + 5)
    Explanation
    The given expression can be simplified by factoring out the common factor of (x - 1) from both terms. This results in (x - 1) multiplied by (x + 5), which is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    6a - 4b + 8c 

    • A. 

      2(3a - 2b + 4c)

    • B. 

      A(6a - 4 + 8c)

    • C. 

      4(2a - b + 2c)

    Correct Answer
    A. 2(3a - 2b + 4c)
    Explanation
    The given expression 6a - 4b + 8c can be simplified by factoring out the common terms from each term. The expression 2(3a - 2b + 4c) is the correct answer because it represents the simplified form of the given expression. By distributing the 2 to each term inside the parentheses, we get 6a - 4b + 8c, which matches the original expression.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    18x - 12y - 30z

    • A. 

      6x(3x - 2y - 5z)

    • B. 

      2(9x - 6y - 15z)

    • C. 

      18(x - 12 - 30z)

    Correct Answer
    A. 6x(3x - 2y - 5z)
    Explanation
    The given expression, 18x - 12y - 30z, can be factored out by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of the coefficients. The GCF of 18, 12, and 30 is 6. Factoring out 6 from each term gives us 6x(3x - 2y - 5z). Therefore, the correct answer is 6x(3x - 2y - 5z).

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Factorize: x²+4x

    • A. 

      X(x+4)

    • B. 

      4x(x+1)

    • C. 

      X(x+4)

    • D. 

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. X(x+4)
    Explanation
    The given expression can be factorized as x(x+4). This is because we can factor out the common factor of x from both terms, leaving us with x multiplied by (x+4).

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Factorize: 10xy - 25yz

    • A. 

      2xy - 5yz

    • B. 

      5xy( 2 - 5z)

    • C. 

      5y(2x - 5z)

    • D. 

      10x - 25z

    Correct Answer
    C. 5y(2x - 5z)
    Explanation
    The given expression, 10xy - 25yz, can be factorized as 5y(2x - 5z). This is because both terms in the expression have a common factor of 5y, which can be factored out. The remaining terms, 2x - 5z, cannot be further simplified or factored. Therefore, the correct factorization is 5y(2x - 5z).
