1. Simplify the following expression.

4 x ²+15 x − 25
x ²+12 x+35

( 4 x −5)( x +5)
=
(x+ 5)(x +7)

( 4 x −5)( x +5)
=
( x+ 5)(x +7)

( 4 x −5)
=
( x+ 7)

2. Both Vergilio and Angelo gave money to the same charity. Compared to Vergilio, Angelo gave five
times as much. They contributed Php 3000 between the two of them. How much did Angelo
contribute?

x + 5x = 3000

= 6x = 3000

6x 3000
= =
6 6

= x = 500
= 5(500)
= $2500
Angelo contributed Php 2500

3. Angelo, Paolo and Vergilio went to the bookstore to buy some books. They all bought a total of 18
books that cost 150 each , if Paolo bought three times as much as Vergilio, And Vergilio bought two
times as much as Angelo, How much did Paolo paid for his books .

Paolo =2(3)(x)
Vergilio =2(x)
Angelo =x

= x + 2x + 2(3)(x) = 18
= 3x + 6x = 18
= 9x = 18
9x 18
= =
9 9
= x=2
= 2(3)(2)
= 12, 12* Php150 = Php 1800
Therefore Paolo paid Php1800 for his books
4. What are the factors of 2x² + 15x + 28
2x² + 15x + 28

= (2x + 7) (x + 4)
= 2x² + 8x + 7x + 28
= 2x² + 15x + 28

Therefore the factors of 2x² + 15x + 28 are (2x + 7) and (x + 4)

5. What are the factors of 3x² +34x - 24.

3x² +34x - 24
= (3x - 2)(x +12)
= 3x² - 2x + 36x -24
= 3x² +34x - 24
Therefore the factors of 3x² +34x - 24 are (3x - 2) and (x +12)

6. John Laurience went to the store and bought a phone for Php59 500. It had been discounted by
15%. What is the original price of the phone?

15% of x = 15/100 = 0.15x

x - 0.15x = 0.85x
= 0.85x = 59 500
0.85 x 59500
= =
0.85 0.85
= x = 70 000
Therefore the original price of the phone is Php70 000.

7. If x = 4, what is the value (14x³ + 3x² - 11x - 15)?

= 14(4)³ + 3(4)² - 11(4) - 15

= 14(64) + 3(16) - 44- 15
= 896 + 48 - 44 - 15
= 944 - 44 - 15
= 900 - 15
= 885

8. Solve the inequality 21x - 17 ≥ 43x + 13

21x - 17 ≥ 43x + 13
= 21x - 43x ≥ 13 + 17
= -22x ≥ 30
−22 x 30
= ≥
−22 −22

9. What is the product if we multiply( 17x - 3) and (15x - 5)

( 17x - 3) (15x - 5)
= 255x² - 85x - 45 + 15
= 255x² - 130x + 15

10. Solve the inequality 15x - 25 ≥ 13x - 20

15x - 25 ≥ 13x - 20
= 15x -13x ≥ -20 +25
= 2x ≥ 5
2x 5
= ≥
