10. Given that p=-3 and q = 2,

evaluate p + (-pq) - pq

11. 3(x-2y) - 2(x-3y) =

12. 9x2 25y2

= (3x)2 (5y)2
a2 b2 = (a + b)(a b)
= (3x + 5y)(3x 5y)

13. x(z 4x) + x(2z + 5x)

16. Simplify
(4mn - 5pq) - (mn - 2pq - 6mn)
= 4mn - 5pq - mn + 2pq + 6mn
= 4mn + 6mn - 5pq + 2pq - mn
= 10mn - 3pq - mn

17. Simplify
(2mn + 4p) + (3mn - 5p)
= 2mn + 4p + 3mn - 5p
= 2mn + 3mn + 4p - 5p
= 5mn - p

20. Simplify the following

19. 12xy 4xy =

18. 3pq x 6rpq =

expression by factoring it
completely:

24w2 16w

21. Simplify
(4ab - 8cd + 12ef) 2
= 4ab/2 - 8cd/2 + 12ef
= 2ab - 4cd + 6ef

= 8w(3w 2)

22. (pq x - 9pq) 3p =

23. 16p2 196q2

= 4(4p2 49q2)
4p2 = (2p)2
and 49q2 = (7q)2
So 4p2 49q2 = (2p)2
(7q)2
a2 b2 = (a + b)(a b)
So 4p2 49q2 = (2p + 7q)
(2p 7q)

24. (-4 a b) 3 b c x 9ac =

196q2 = 4(2p +

29. Subtract -m2 + 5mn from

4m2 3mn + 8

27. 4(2p + 3) -2(3p 2y + 5) =

Expansion:
i) a (b + c) = ab + ac
ii) ab (x + y) = abx + aby
iii) (a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd
iv) (a + b) = a + 2ab + b
v) (a b) = a 2ab + b
vi) (a + b)(a b) = a b

Factorization:
i) ab + ac = a(b + c)
ii) a ab = a(a b)
iii) a b = (a b)(a + b)
iv) a + 2ab + b = (a + b)
v) a 2ab + b = (a b)
vi) ab + ac + db + cd = a(b + c) + d(b + c) = (a + d)(b + c)
