1) 2

2a) x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) = 40 2b) x = 7

3a) a = 18 3b) B(3, 6), C(-2, -9) 3c) 55 cm2

4) 6 cm2

5a) B(5, 3) 5b) A(5, 7.5) 5c) C(2, 3) 5d) 9 cm

6) n – 10 = top number, n + 1 = bottom right number. n + (n – 10) + (n + 1) = 3n – 9 = 3(n –

3). Therefore, the sum of the 3 numbers in any L-shape piece is the bottom left number
minus 3, then multiplied by 3.

7) 12 days. 20 people, 36 days, so multiply 20 x 36 to get 720. This is an inverse

720
proportion. The more people, the less days. a = 720. So y = 𝑥 . Substitute 60 with x and
you’ll get y = 12.
