Substitution
Bronze: I can substitute positive and negative integers into simple algebraic expressions and formulae (Grade E)
For Qs 1-8, x = 4: For Qs 9 – 20, x = -3: Remember:
1) 3x + 6 9) 3x + 3 17) -3 - 3x
2) 2x – 2 10) 2x + 1 18) 45 + x +x+=+
3) 4x + 9 11) 2x – 2 19) 16 – 7x
4) 8x – 3 12) 9x + 30 20) 4x + 12 +x - = -
5) 2 + 7x 13) 4x + 15
6) 5 – 2x 14) 3 - x
7) 3x – 15 15) -9 – 2x -x+= -
8) 19 – 5x 16) 7 + x
-x- = +
Silver: I can substitute positive integers into algebraic expressions and formulae that include squares and cubes
(Grade D)
For Qs 1 – 8, x = 2 For Qs 9 – 16, x = 5 Remember:
1) x2 + 5 9) x2 + 3
2) x2 – 3 10) x2 - 30 x2 means ‘x’ multiplied by
3) 2x2 + 3 11) 4x2 + 4 itself
4) 6x2 -7 12) 3x2 - 80
5) x3 + 1 13) x3 + 3
6) x3 – 7 14) 2x3 + 1
x3 means ‘x’ multiplied by
7) 2x3 + 9 15) x3 - 200 itself, then multiplied by
8) 6x3 – 20 16) 3x3 - 100 itself again
9)
