5) Express each of the following as top-heavy fractions:

1) 2 3/8 2) 5 1/10 3) 8 2/3

= 19
/8 = 51/10 = 26/3

6) Simplify the following:

1) 7x + 11x 2) 7x –5x 3) 3x – 6x 4) -2x - 4x

 = 18x = 2x = -3x = -6x

7) Find the HCF of the following:

1) p3q2, p2q3, p2q

= p2q

8) Solve 3x – 2 = 5x + 6

3x – 5x = 6 + 2

-2x = 8

x= 8
-2

x=-4

9) Solve 2(3x + 7) = 16

Removing the bracket gives 6x + 14 = 16

6x = 16 –14

6x = 2

x=2
