PROBLEM PAPER 4

Solve the following quadratic equations

1. 2( x 2 6) = 3( x 4)
2. 3 11 y = 4 y 2
3. ( x 3)( x 2) = 2( x 2 4)
4.

7 x 3 3x
=
x +1
2

5. 7(t 2 7) = 6t 2
6.

7. 4 p 2 14 = p
8. 2 x( x + 9) = ( x + 1)(5 x )
9. 20 x 2 = 7 x + 6
10. 4 y + 5 = 2 y 2

.. giving your answer to 2 decimal places
