ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION

TUTORIAL 1

Marks

1 A calculator cost RM W. A school buy 90 calculators and get 2M

discounts of RM 100 for bulk purchasing. How much does the
school spend? Write the algebraic expression
W X90 =90W -100

2 A chicken weight t kg. It needs to be cooked for 20 minutes per 2M

kg and plus an extra 15 minutes. Write the algebraic expression
for the total cooking time of the chicken.
20X t = 20t +15
3. Simplify each expression. 12 M

1) 10x – 8x + 2 + 10 = 2x +12 =2(x+6)

2) 3a + 7 + 2(3 + a) = 3a+ 7+ 6+2a =5a + 13

3) 3(m – 5) + m = 3m- 15 +m = 4m-15

4) 2s + 10 – 7s – 8 + 3s – 7 = 2s-5

5) 8c – 4 – 2c + 5 = 6c +1

6) –4 + 7z + 3 – 2z= -1 +5z

7) 15 + 4(5y – 10)= 15 +20y – 40 =20y-25 5(4y-5)

8) 2d + 17 – 3 – 2d + 4d = 4d +14 2(2d+7)

9) 12n – 8 – 2n + 10 – 4 = 10n -2 2(5n-1)

10) 8(2k + 1 + 3k) = 16k +8 + 24k =40k+8 8(5k+1)

11) 4(2b + 2) – 3 = 8b+8-3 =8b+5

 12) –4 + 8p – 6p – 5 + 20p = -9 +22p / 22p-9

4. Factorize each linear equation 3M

1)6x + 9= 3(2x+3)
2) 39u – 52v + 13= 13 (3u – 4v +1)
3) 40b – 80c – 40d = 40(b-2c-d)
4) x2 -16 = ( x – 4)(x + 4) =x2 +4x -4x -16
5) 4x2-9 = (2x + 3)(2x - 3) = 4x2 +6x -6x – 9 = 4x2 -9
6) 4x2 -12x+9 = (2x -3)(2x-3) =4x2 – 6x -6x +9

5. Determine the value of the unknown in each equation. 8M

a) 2(3 − h) − 6 = −5h
6 -2h – 6= -5h
-2h +5h = -6 +6
3h =0
H= 0 /3=0

b) 2(3x − 2) + 9 = −5x
6x 4 +9 =-5x
6x +5 =-5x
6x+ 5x =-5
11x =-5
X = -5/11
c) −2(4 + 3y) = −2(4 + y)
-8-6y =-8 -2y
-6+2 y=-8 +8
-4y =0
Y = 0 /-4
Y=0
d) 2z + 6 = 3z + 1
2z-3z

e) −6k + 1 = −2 + 7k
 f) 6n + 7 = 2n + 5
6n -2n = 5-7
4n =-2
n = -2 /4
n=-1/2
