Equations

This document contains a student's work on solving several equations. The student solved: 1) 7x - 5 = 3x + 2 for x = 1.75 2) 8y - 18 = 3(y + 3) for y = 5.4 3) 2(3x - 2) - 5(3 - 4x) = 2*10 for x = 1.5 4) x^2 + 5x - 24 = 0 for x = -3, 8 5) A diagram showing a playground was extended, and the student showed that the equation for the larger playground area being double the original is 3x^2 - 50x - 200 = 0. The area of

HW6: Equations

Q1.

Solve 7x − 5 = 3x + 2
Show your working clearly.

7x - 5 = 3x + 2
7x - 3x = 2 + 5
4x = 7

x = ...........................................................
1.75

(Total for question is 2 marks)

Q2.

Solve 8y – 18 = 3(y + 3)
Show clear algebraic working.

8y - 18 = 3(y+3)
8y - 18 = 3y + 9
8y - 3y = 9 + 18

y = ...........................................................
5.4

Q3.

Solve

Show clear algebraic working.

2(3x - 2 ) - 5(3 - 4x) = 2*10


6x - 4 - 15 + 20x = 20
26x = 39

x = ...........................................................
1.5

(Total for question is 4 marks)

Q4.

Solve x2 + 5x − 24 = 0

Show clear algebraic working.

x^2 + 5x - 24 = o
(x + 3)(x -8) = 0
x + 3 = 0 OR x - 8 = 0

Q5.

The diagram shows a rectangular playground of width x metres and length 3x metres.

The playground is extended, by adding 10 metres to its width and 20 metres to its length, to form a
larger rectangular playground.
The area of the larger rectangular playground is double the area of the original playground.

(a) Show that 3x2 − 50x − 200 = 0

(x + 10)(3x + 20) = 2(x * 3x)


3x^2 + 20x + 30x + 200 = 6x^2
3x^2 - 6x^2 + 20x + 30x + 200 = 0
-3x^2 + 50x + 200 = 0
3x^2 - 50x - 200 = 0

(3)
(b) Calculate the area of the original playground.

3x^2 - 50x - 200 = 0


3x^2 + 10x - 60x - 200 = 0
x( 3x + 10) - 20 (3x + 10) = 0

A = 3x*x
A = 3x^2
If x=20
