Eliminating x:

10(3y - 4x + 11 = 0)
4(2y + 10x + 1 = 0)
Test no.1: ------------------------------
38 y = -114
y = -3
Q1. (2 marks)
substituting y = -3:
Solve using either Substitution or Elimination.
2(-3) + 10x + 1 = 0
x = 1/2
a. Q2. (a)
let x and y be unknown numbers.
x + y = 14 --- (1)
x - y = 2 -----(2)
Eliminate y: ----------------------
2x = 16 hence x = 8.

Q2. Any 2. (8 marks) substitute x = 8.


(8) + y = 14 therefore y = 6
a. The sum of two number is 14 and their difference is 2. Find the numbers.

b. If 2 is added to the numerator and denominator it becomes 9/10 and if 3 is


subtracted from the numerator and denominator it become 4/5. Find the fractions.

c. If twice the age of son is added to age of father, the sum is 56. But if twice the
age of the father is added to the age of son, the sum is 82. Find the ages of father
and son.
(c)
let age of son be x, and age of father be y
2x + y = 56
x + 2y = 82
Q3. Basics (5 marks) eliminate x:
-2(2x + y = 56)
a. Evaluate x + 2y = 82
(a) 1.5 – 0.2 × 4, ----------------------
(b) 52.3 × 10 − 3.76 × 100, -3x = -112 + 82 = -30
(c) 2.6 × 0.2 , x = 10 (Age of son)
0.9 * 100 (d) substitute x = 10
----- (10) + 2y = 82
= 90/6 = 15 therefore y = 36 (Age of Father)
0.06 * 100
b. Make x the subject:
i.

ii.

220 cm = 2200 mm
3 1 4 2 0.021 km = 21000 mm
2.25 m = 2250 mm
c.
convert it into same units

220 cm 2.25 m 2300 mm 0.021 km (In answer, remember to write actual quantities)
Q4. (5 marks)

a.

b. Evaluate

(2^3)^5/3 - (2^4)^3/4 = 2^5 - 2^3 = 32-8 = 24

(225/100)^-3/2 = (100/225)^3/2 = 100^3/2 (10^2)^3/2 10^3


---------- = --------------- = --------
225^3/2 (15^2)^3/2 15^3

c.
i. Find x.

2^(4x-1) = 2^-4
ignore bases
compare powers
ii. 4x - 1 = - 4
x = -3/4
(2^3)^2x+1 = 2^2 x 2^x
2 ^ (6x+3) = 2^ (2+x)
ignore bases
iii. compare powers
6x + 3 = 2 + x
5x = -1 therefore x = -1/5
