    5x + 75 = 9
     2x + 9
    5x + 75 = 9(2x - 9)
    156 = 13x
    x = 12
  8. 2a = 2(3i - 2j + 3k)
    = 6i - 4j + 6k
    3b = 3(2i - 4j - 3k)
    = 6i - 12i - 9k
    2a - 3b = 8j + 15k
    2a - 3b = √64 + 225
    = 17
  9. A3 =  bx  
           b + x
    A3b + A3x = bx
    x(b - A3) = A3b
    x = A3b

  12.                      
    1. y = kx + cx2
      45 = 20k + 400c
      60 = 24k + 576c
      270 = 120k + 2400c
      300 = 120k + 2880c
      c = 30  =  1  
           480   16
      45 = 20k + 400/16, k = 1
      hence
      y = x + 1/16x2
    2. 75 = x + x2/16
      x2 + 16x - 1200 = 0
      x = - 16 ± √256 + 4x x 1200

    (a - x)6 = 2.996 = (3 - 0.01)6
    a = 3, x = 0.01
    hence
    36 - 6 x 35x(0.01) + 15 x 34(0.01)2 - 20 x 33x

    (0.01)3
    729 – 14.58 + 0.1215 – 0.00054
