Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.

Part (a) · 2 marks

Simplify 10x − 7y − 6x + 4y by collecting like terms.

  1. 110x − 6x = 4x
  2. 2−7y + 4y = −3y
  3. 34x − 3y

Answer4x − 3y

Part (b) · 2 marks

Find T when d = 13 and e = 7 in T = 4d − 6e.

  1. 14 × 13 = 52
  2. 26 × 7 = 42
  3. 352 − 42 = 10

Answer10

Part (c) · 2 marks

Solve 5p + 11 = 28 for p.

  1. 128 − 11 = 17
  2. 25p = 17
  3. 3p = 17/5

Answer17/5
