8 a 1. You can’t simplify 10xy and 5xz by adding them together as the algebraic terms are different.
2. You can simplify 4cb – bc by subtraction to 3bc as the algebraic terms are the same.
b 1. 10xy + 5xz 2. 2a 2 + 3bc

s 3a – 9b – 3 t 5x – 5y – 5z
2 No. 4(a − 7) = 4a − 28 and 4(7 − a) = 28 − 4a

6 a 1. He wrote –3(3a + 5) instead of –5(3a + 5), and that 3a – 9a = 6a instead of −6a.
2. He wrote 4pq − 4pq = pq instead of zero.
3pr + pq can’t be simplified by adding them together as the algebraic terms are different.
3. He multiplied the 5b in front of the first bracket with the a in front of the second bracket. He forgot to
include the 15ab when adding the ab terms.
b 1. −12a − 10 2. pr + 2qr 3. 4a 2 + 5b 2 + 21ab
7 Yes. x(x − 3) + x(x + 5) = x 2 − 3x + x 2 + 5x = 2x 2 + 2x and 2x(x + 1) = 2x 2 + 2x.

F Exercise 9.3 Constructing and solving equations


1 a a = 2, b = 4 b c = 2, d = 3 c e = 7, f = 3 d g = 20, h = 7 e i = 5, j = 4 f k = 8, m = 1
2 a a = 8 b b=5 c c=6
3 a x = 5 b x=4 c x=3
4 a 2n + 8 = 20, n = 6 b n − 3 = 2, n = 20 c 4n − 6 = 2n + 12, n = 9
4
d 5n + 10 = 7n, n = 5 e 3(n + 1) = 4n − 4, n = 7 f 5(n − 6) = 4(n − 5), n = 10
