YEAR 9 C MATHS REVISION

1. Simplify these indices:

(a) 3 x 5 × 4 x 3
(b) 12 x 4 y3 ÷ 3 x−2 √ y
(c) ¿ ¿
6 −3
x ×x
(d) −2
x
−2
(e) 7 p

2. Solve these simultaneous equations:

(a) 2x + 5y = 9 (b) 3x + 2y = 17 c) 5x + 2y = 17 (d) 7x + 3y = 27
2x + 3y = 7 5x – 2y = 7 4x + y = 10 3x – 2y = 5

(f) 2x + 5y = -4
y = 3x – 11

3. Solve these problems by using simultaneous equations:

(a) Andre has more money than Bob. If Andre gave Bob $20, they would have the
same amount. While if Bob gave Andre $22, Andre would then have twice as
much as Bob. How much does each one actually have?

(b) 1000 tickets were sold. Adult tickets cost $8.50, children's cost $4.50, and a total
of $7300 was collected. How many tickets of each kind were sold?

(c) Archer has 33 coins. The coins are either 20 cent or 50 cent coins. The total value
of the coins is $12. How many of each type of coin does he have?

4. Natasha earns $115000 per year. She pays $30460 in tax and claims $6500 in
tax deductions. Natasha also pays 2% medicare levy.

(a) Find the taxable income

(b) Find the tax payable
