2(1)
𝑥 = 0,56 𝑜𝑟 𝑥 = −3,56
1.1.3 1 3 ✓multiplying by LCD
√𝑥 − = ✓ squaring both sides
√𝑥 2
∴ 2(√𝑥)(√𝑥) − 2 = 3√𝑥 ✓ standard form
∴ 2𝑥 − 2 = 3√𝑥 ✓ factors
∴ (2𝑥 − 2)2 = 9𝑥 ✓x-values
✓ selecting valid x-value (6)
∴ 4𝑥 2 − 8𝑥 + 4 = 9𝑥
∴ 4𝑥 2 − 17𝑥 + 4 = 0
∴ (4𝑥 − 1)(𝑥 − 4) = 0
1
∴𝑥= or 𝑥 = 4
4
But 𝑥 ≠ 4

Alternatively: ✓using the k-method

✓ standard form
Let 𝑘 = √𝑥 ✓ factors
1 3 ✓k-values
∴𝑘− =
𝑘 2 ✓ replacing k with √𝑥
∴ 2𝑘 2 − 2 = 3𝑘 ✓ selecting valid x-value (6)
∴ 2𝑘 2 − 3𝑘 − 2 = 0
∴ (2𝑘 + 1)(𝑘 − 2) = 0
1
∴𝑘=− or 𝑘 = 2

∴ √𝑥 = 2
∴𝑥=4
1.1.4 𝑥(𝑥 + 2) ≤ 3(𝑥 + 2) ✓ expanding
∴ 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 ≤ 3𝑥 + 6 ✓ standard form
∴ 𝑥2 − 𝑥 − 6 ≤ 0 ✓ factors
∴ (𝑥 − 3)(𝑥 + 2) ≤ 0 ✓ solution (4)
∴ −2 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 3
1.2 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 24 …A ✓ change subject of formula
(𝑥 − 3)(𝑦 − 2) = 18 … B ✓ substitution
✓ distribution
Rewrite A in the form 𝑦 =… ✓ standard form
✓ factors
𝑦 = 24 − 𝑥 ✓x-values
✓y-values (7)
Substitute in B:

(𝑥 − 3)(24 − 𝑥 − 2) = 18
∴ (𝑥 − 3)(22 − 𝑥) = 18
∴ 22𝑥 − 𝑥 2 − 66 + 3𝑥 = 18
∴ 0 = 𝑥 2 − 25𝑥 + 84
∴ 0 = (𝑥 − 21)(𝑥 − 4)
∴ 𝑥 = 21 or 𝑥 = 4

If 𝑥 = 21, then 𝑦 = 24 − 21 = 3.
If 𝑥 = 4, then 𝑦 = 24 − 4 = 20.

Alternatively: ✓ change subject of formula

✓ substitution
Rewrite B in the form 𝑥 =… ✓ distribution
✓ standard form
𝑥 = 24 − 𝑦 ✓ factors
✓x-values
Substitute in B: ✓y-values (7)

(24 − 𝑦 − 3)(𝑦 − 2) = 18
∴ (21 − 𝑦)(𝑦 − 2) = 18
∴ 21𝑦 − 42 − 𝑦 2 + 2𝑦 = 18
∴ 0 = 𝑦 2 − 23𝑥 + 60
∴ 0 = (𝑦 − 20)(𝑦 − 3)
∴ 𝑦 = 20 or 𝑦 = 3
∴ 𝑥 = 21 or 𝑥 = 4

2.3 (2𝑥+1 )4 . 121−2𝑥 = 1 728 ✓24𝑥+4
∴ 24𝑥+4 . (22 . 3)1−2𝑥 = 1 728 ✓(22 . 3)1−2𝑥
∴ 24𝑥+4 . 22−4𝑥 . 31−2𝑥 = 1 728 ✓22−4𝑥 . 31−2𝑥
∴ 26 . 31−2𝑥 = 1 728 ✓31−2𝑥 = 27
∴ 31−2𝑥 = 27 ✓1 − 2𝑥 = 3
∴ 31−2𝑥 = 33 ✓𝑥 = −1
∴ 1 − 2𝑥 = 3 (6)
∴ 𝑥 = −1
