Question 6 (i)
Simplify the expression and find the value if x is equal to 2: x + 7 + 4(x - 5)
x + 7 + 4(x - 5) = x + 7 + 4x - 20 = x + 4x + 7 - 20 =5x−13=5×2−13 [Putting x = 2] = 10 - 13 = -3
Question 6 (ii)
Simplify the expression and find the value if x is equal to 2: 3(x + 2) + 5x - 7
Question 6 (iv)
Simplify the expression and find the value ifx is equal to 2: 4(2x - 1) + 3x + 11
Question 7 (i)
Simplify these expressions and find their values if x = 3, a = -1, b = -2: 3x - 5 - x + 9
