 Concept Consolidator
1. a) Solve the inequality −2x > 7.

The question needs to make sense.

b) Hence, find the largest integer that satisfies −2x > 7.

If you are unable to see the answer, draw the inequality out on a number line

 Simultaneous linear equations:

3. Solve these simultaneous equations.

5x − y = − 15
x + 4y = 18

substitution
Graphical approach:
The intersection point of these two lines give the value of x and y.

The meaning of “Solve”, is to look for a pair of value for x and y,

such that (x,y) satisfy both equations.

4. i) Express x 2 − 8x + 5 in the form of (x + p)2 + q. Find the value of p

and q.

(a+b)^2= a^2 + 2ab +b^2

(a-b)^2 = a^2 – 2ab + b^2

ii) Hence, solve the equation x 2 − 8x + 5 = 0, giving your answers to 2

decimal places.
