4p – 2q + 5p – 7q
4p + 5p – 2q – 7q
= 9p – 9q
= 9(p-q)
3x^2 + xy + 4xy – x^2
3x^2 – x^2 + xy + 4xy
= 2x^2 + 5xy
Removing the brackets and simplifying
4(x-y) = 4x – 4y
3(x+y) + 2(x-y) = 3x + 3y + 2x -2y
= 3x + 2x + 3y – 2y
= 5x + y
Try:
a) x(2-3y) = 2x – 3xy
b) 4(p – 2q) -3(p+3q) = -3p – 9q
a) 2x – 3xy
b) 4p – 8q -3p – 9q
 4p – 3p – 8q – 9q
= p – 17q
c) x( 2y – 3z ) – y(4x – 5z)
d) 3x(x-y) + 2y(y-x)
c) 2xy – 3xz – 4xy + 5yz
2xy- 4xy -3xz + 5yz
-2xy -3xz +5yz
d) 3x^2 – 3xy +2y^2 – 2xy
3x^2 + 2y^2 – 3xy-2xy
3x^2+2y^2 – 5xy
Worded Question
1. Pens cost $10 each and pencils $15 each. What is the cost
of m pens and c pencils?
1 pen = $10
m pens = 10 x m
= $10m
1 pencil = $15
c pencils = 15 x c
= $15c
Total cost = $(10m + 15c)
2. Alvin runs 6km per hour for k hours and walks 15km per
hour for y hours.
a) Distance travelled
b) Average speed = distance/time
1 hour = 6km
5 hours = 6x 5
= 30km
 a) 6k + 15y
b) 6k+15y/ k + y
Factorization:
1) 12ab – 16ac = 4a(3b – 4c)
2) 3x^2y – 12xy^2 = 3xy(x – 4y)
3) 6ac + 3bc + 2ad + bd
3c(2a + b) + d(2a +b)
(2a + b) (3c + d)
4) 6pr – 4sp + 3rq – 2sq
2p(3r-2s) + q(3r – 2s)
(3r-2s) (2p + q)
5) 9xu + 6xv – 3xw + 6uy + 4vy – 2wy
6) 2a^2c – 4bc -a^2d + 2bd
5) 3x(3u+2v – w) + 2y(3u + 2v -w)
(3u + 2v – w) (3x + 2y)
2a^2c – a^2d – 4bc + 2bd
a^2(2c-d) -2b(2c – d)
(2c – d) (a^2 – 2b)
Solving fractions using x
Linear equations
4x – 2 = 26
4x = 26 + 2
4x = 28
X = 28/4
x= 7
3x – 2 = 2x + 3
3x – 2x = 3+ 2
X =5
3x – 7 = 5 – 3x
6x = 12
X=2

8x = 30
x = 3.75
