1.

Collect the following terms:

3a + 2b - 4a + 3b

a)

5b - a

b)

7a + 5b

c)

5b + 7a

d)

a + 5b

2.

Expand the bracket:

4 ( 2 + 5a )

a)

6 + 9a

b)

6 + 20a

c)

2 + 20a

d)

8 + 20a

3.

Expand and simplify:

3 ( 2a + b ) + 4 ( 3a + 2b )

a)

6a + 3b + 12a + 6b

= 18a + 9b

b)

6a + 3b + 12a + 8b

= 18a + 10b

c)

6a + 3b + 12a - 8b

= 18a - 5b

d)

6a + 3b + 12a + 8b

= 18a + 11b

4.

Fully factorise the following expression:

12a + 6b

a)

2 ( 6a + 3b )

b)

6 ( 2a + b )

c)

3 ( 4a + 2b)

d)

4 ( 3a + b )

5.

Solve the following equation:

3a + 7 = 1

a)

3a = 8

a = 8/3

b)

3a = 6

a = 2

c)

3a = -6

a = -2

d)

3a = -7

a = -7/3

6.

A taxi driver charges £3 for the first mile and then £2 per mile after that.

What formula would be appropriate to find Total Cost?

a)

TC = 3 + 2m

b)

TC = 2 + 3m

c)

m = TC + 6

d)

m = TC - 6

7.

When a = 2, b = 5 and c = -1

Find the value of:

i) a + b

ii) a + c

a)

i) 7

ii) 3

b)

i) 7

ii) 1

c)

i) 10

ii) 1

d)

i) 10

ii) -2

8.

A rectangle is 2 by 3. The area is 2 x 3 = 6


If a rectangle is (a + 2) by (a + 3), which is the simplified expression for its area?

a)

a^2 + 2a + 3a + 6

= a^2 + 5a + 6

b)

a^2 + 2a + 3a + 6

= 6a^2 + 6

c)

a + 2 + a + 3

= 2a + 5

d)

2 ( a + 2 + a + 3 )

= 4a + 12

9.

I can buy 4 coffees and 3 teas for £2.50

I can buy 3 coffees and 3 teas for £2.10


How would you work the cost of a coffee and of a tea?

a)

4c + 3t = 250

3c + 3t = 210

1c = 30

90 + 3t = 210

3t = 120

t = 40

b)

4c + 3t = 250

3c + 3t = 210

7c + 6t = 460

c)

4c + 3t = 250

3c + 3t = 210

1c = 40

120 + 3t = 210

3t = 90

t = 30

10.
