MARKING SCHEME 

SECTION  1 (50mark)

answer all the  queastions in the spaces provided 

  1. Solve  for 6n/n-1=25/n
    n(6n)=25(n-1)
    6n²-25n+25=0   m1
    6n²-15n-10n+25=0
    (3n-5)(2n-5)=0
    3n-5=0 ⇒n=5/3 = 12/3 or 2n-5=0⇒ n=5/2=21/2
  2. Afamily used two-fifths of its monthly income on school fees. Three-quaters of the remaining  amount was used on family upkeep while the rest was  invested . The family invested Ksh13500 monthly .
    calculate the amount of money the family used on school fees every month .     (4marks)
    Fees= 2/5,  rem=5/5-2/5=3/5
    upkeep= 3/4×3/5=9/20,  rem=3/5-9/20=3/20
    invest. = 3/20 =13500
                = 2/5×13500×20/3
                   =ksh36,000

  3. Solve for x in the equation 
    52x - 1 - 25x=500
    52x-1-52x =500
    52x,51 - 52x  =500
    let 52xbe k
    ∴1/5 k - k =500
    -4/5k = 500
    k =500×5/4 = -62
    52x = −625
    52x = −5
    x is indeterminate
  4. Kipkoech and Tanui began a 5000m race together at the starting line .kipkoech and Tanui took 72 seconds and 80seconds respectively to to run a 400m lap .The two athletes were together againat the starting line after some time. Determine the number of laps thatTanui had to run to complete the race after they were together. 
    Time taken to be together again ;
    L.C.M =24×3²×5=720sec
    No. of laps made  by Tanui=720/80=9
    Remaining laps =5000/400 =9 =31/2 
  5. Simplify 18ax−(3a−4a)(3a+4x)
                           3a−8x
    (3a−4x)(3a+4x) =9a² −16²
    18ax−(9a−16x²) = 16x²+18ax −9a²
            3a−8x                 3a−8x
    =16x² +24ax -6ax -9a²
                  3a-8x
    =(2x+3a)(8x-3a)
                -1(8x-3a)
    = -2x-3a

    LSF=12/6 =2 ⇒ A.sf =2²=4
    Area of ΔABC=4×9√3 = 36√3cm²
    A.of ABCD =36√3 −9√3 =27√3cm²
          =46.77cm²
