Simplify: 43 x 42

Answer: 45 (or 1,024)

  • Why? When multiplying exponents with the same base, you add the powers (3 + 2 = 5).

Solve for y:
3y - 7 = 14

Answer: y = 7

  • Why? Add 7 to both sides (3y = 21), then divide both sides by 3 (y = 7).

Geometry (Pythagorean Theorem): A right-angled triangle has two legs measuring 5 inches and 12 inches. What is the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side)?

Answer: 13 inches.

  • Why? Using the Pythagorean Theorem (a2 + b2 = c2), we get 52 + 122 = c2. This becomes $25 + 144 = c2, so $169 = c2. The square root of 169 is 13.
