a) When y = 1, which expression below has the largest value? Put a ring round it.

3+ y 10 − y y2 3y y
2

b) When y = 4, which expression below has the largest value? Put a ring round it. Clearly explain your reasoning.

3+ y 10 − y y2 3y y
2

c) Which one of the expressions has a value of 10 when 𝑎 = 3 and 𝑏 = 2 ? Show your working.

ab
2a + 2b
4b – 2a
3a – b+1

d) y = w − 2a² Work out the value of y if w = 400 and a = 5. Show your working.

2. Solve the following equations. Show clearly your working. Remember to work in column form and check your
solutions.
(a) 2 x + 3 = 10 (b) 3( x − 5) = 15 (c) 5x + 2 x − 1 = 20

x+4 (e) 5 − x = 0 (f) −2( x + 4) + 6 = −4


(d) = 10
10
