Answers

  1. Let the daughter’s age 5yrs ago be x
    Mother 4x
    come;
    Daughter = x + 9
    Mother = 4x+ 9
    4x + 9 = 5/2(x +9)
    4x + 9 = 2.5x + 22.5
    1.5x = 13.5
    x = 9
    Mother = 41yrs
    14 + 41 =55
  2.  
    1. 6a + 7a – 2b – 4b + 2
      = 13a – 6b + 2

    2. algebraic expressions 2ba

  3. algebraic expressions 3a
  4.  
    1. From x + y and x2 + y2 = 34
      X = 8 – y
      Substituting for x in x2 – y2 = 34
      (8 – y) (8 – y) + y2 = 34
      64 – 8y – 8y + y2 + y2 = 34
      64 – 16y + 2y2 = 34
      2y2 – 16y + 64 – 34 = 0
      2y2 – 16y + 30 = 0
      y2 = 8y + 15 = 0
      y (y – 3) – 5 (y-3) = 0 (y-5) (y – 3)
      y is either 5 or 3
      but x – y = 8
      x is either 5 0r 3
      x2 + 2xy + y2 = 32 + 2 x 3 x 5 + 25
      = 9 + 30 + 25 = 64
    2. 2xy = 2 x 3 x 5 = 30
    3. x2 – 2xy + y2 = 9 – 2 x 3 x 5 + 25 = 4
    4. x - y = 8 and x2 + y2 = 34
      x = 8 – y
      (8 – y)2 + y2 = 34
      y2 – 8y + 15 = 0
      y2 – 3y – 5y + 15 = 0
      y(y -3) – 5(y – 3)
      (y-3) = 0 y = 3
      (y-5) = 0 y = 5
      x + 3 = 8, x = 5 or x + 5 = 8
      x = 3
      x is either 3 or 5
      y is either 3 or 5

    3(5x + 3y)(5x – 3y)
  11. Factorizing the numerator
    = p(p2 – q2) + q(p2-q)
    = (p+q) (p2-q2)
    = (p+q) (p+q) n(p-q)
    Factorising the denominator
    (p+q) (p+q)
    Numerator = p - q
    Denominator
  12. ( 3x + 2y ) ( 3x - 2y )
    ( 3x + 2y ) ( 3x - 2y )
    3x + 2y
    4x + 3y
  13. (x – 3) (AX2 +BX + C) = x3 – 7x – 6
    AX3 + BX2 +CX – 3AX2 – 3BX – 3c = x3 – 7x – 6
    A = 1
    B – 3A = 0
    B – 3 x 1 = 0
    B = 3
    -3c = -6
    c = 2
  14.  
    1. 8(22)y = 6 x 2y – 1
      let t = 2y
      8t2 = 6t – 1
      8t2 – 4t – 2t + 1 = 0
      (4t – 1) (2t – 1) = 0
      t = ¼ or ½
      t = 2y = ¼ = 2-2
      y = -2
      or t = 2y = ½ = 2-1
      y = -1
      y = -2 or -1

  17. Let the numbers be a and b
    a + b = 15 x3
    5a – 3b = 19 x 1

    3a + 3b = 45
    5a – 3b = 19
    8a = 64
    a = 8
    b = 7
