SOLUTION
bles and calculator, tan x − cos x.
For eqn 1,
SOLUTION
91−x = 27y
32(1−x) = 33y
Since the bases are the same, we equate
the powers.

2(1 − x) = 3y
2 − 2x = 3y
Using Pythagoras theorem, 2x + 3y = 2

Subtracting eqn 1 from eqn 2, we have, x+y+z = 18
2x − 2y = −3 x+y+z+t+u+v+w

2x + 3y = 2
x+y+z+t+u+v+w = 63

3. (a) The present ages of a father and his son are
in the ratio 10 : 3. If the son is 15 years
old now, in how many years will the ratio
of their ages be 2 : 1?
SOLUTION
With the ratio of 10 : 3, if the son is 15yrs,
then the father will be 4.
