Form 2 Mathematics Assignment Solutions

Section A: Directed Numbers


1. Evaluate the following:
1. (−7) + (+12) = 5

2. (−8) × (−5) = 40
3. (−21) ÷ (+7) = −3
4. (+4) − (−9) = 4 + 9 = 13
5. (−6) × (+3) + (−4) = −18 − 4 = −22

2. Word Problems:
1. The new depth of the submarine:

−250 + 120 = −130 m

2. The final temperature:

−3 + 11 − 5 = 3◦ C

Section B: Simplifying Algebraic Expressions


1. 3x + 4x − 2x + 5 = 5x + 5

2. 2(a + b) + 3(a − b) − 4b = 2a + 2b + 3a − 3b − 4b = 5a − 5b
3. (x2 + 3x + 2) − (2x2 − x − 4) = x2 + 3x + 2 − 2x2 + x + 4 = −x2 + 4x + 6
4. 2x(3x − 4) − x(5x + 2) = 6x2 − 8x − 5x2 − 2x = x2 − 10x

Section C: Solving Equations
1. 2x + 5 = 17 2x = 12 ⇒ x = 6
2. 3(x − 2) = 2(x + 5)
3x − 6 = 2x + 10
x = 16

3. 5x − 3 = 2x + 9
5x − 2x = 9 + 3
3x = 12 ⇒ x = 4
2x+3
4. 5 =4
2x + 3 = 20
2x = 17 ⇒ x = 8.5
5. x2 − 5x = 0
x(x − 5) = 0
x = 0 or x = 5

6. 2(x − 3) = 3(x + 1) − 5
2x − 6 = 3x + 3 − 5
2x − 6 = 3x − 2
x = −4

Section D: Mensuration
1. Rectangle:
Perimeter: 2(12 + 7) = 38 cm
Area: 12 × 7 = 84 cm2

2. Circle (radius = 10 cm):


Circumference: 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 10 = 62.8 cm
Area: πr2 = 3.14 × 102 = 314 cm2
3. Cylinder (radius = 5 cm, height = 15 cm):
Curved surface area: 2πrh = 2 × 3.14 × 5 × 15 = 471 cm2
Volume: πr2 h = 3.14 × 52 × 15 = 1177.5 cm3
4. Cube (side = 8 cm):
Total surface area: 6s2 = 6 × 82 = 384 cm2
