1. Solve the following equations.

(a) 8 − 2(3 x − 7) = 5 x

y 11 2y
(b) − =−
5 2 3

(6 marks)
Solution:
(a) 8 − 2(3 x − 7) = 5 x
8 − 6 x + 14 = 5 x 1M for expanding bracket
−6 x − 5 x = −14 − 8 1M for putting x-terms on one side

2. Expand the following expressions.
(a) 4xy(2x + 7)
(b) (x − 1)(5x − 9)

(5 marks)
Solution:
(a) 4xy(2x + 7) = 4xy(2x) + 4xy(7) 1M
= 8x2y + 28xy 1A

(b) (x − 1)(5x − 9) = 5x2 − 5x − 9x + 9 1M + 1A

= 5x2 − 14x + 9 1A

3. Danny spent $2 500 in April and spent $2 150 in May.
(a) Find the percentage change in his expenditure.

(b) If his expenditure in June were 16% more than that in May, did he spend more
money in June than in April? Explain your answer.
(6 marks)
Solution:
(a) Percentage change
2 150 − 2 500
=  100% 1M+1A
2 500
− 350
=  100%
2 500
= −14% 1A

(b) Expenditure in June

= $2 150  (1 + 16%) 1M
= $2 150  1.16
= $2 494
∵ $2 494 < $2 500 1M
∴ He did not spend more money in June than in April. 1A f.t.

the red bag.
(a) Express the number of marbles in the blue bag in terms of x .
(b) Now, if 6 marbles are taken out from the blue bag and put into the red bag, the
number of marbles in the blue bag will be 3 more than half that of the red bag.
(i) Express the number of marbles in each bag in terms of x .
(ii) Find the original number of marbles in the red bag.

(6 marks)
Solution:
(a) The number of marbles in the blue bag = 2x 1A
(b) (i) The number of marbles in the red bag = x + 6 1A
The number of marbles in the blue bag = 2 x − 6 1A
