Question

Simplify the following if x = 3 & y = 4:

1. 2x + y =

2. 3x + 2y =

3. 3y + 2x =

4. 10x + 4y + 2x =

5. 6y + 5x =

6. 7x + 4y =

Use your knowledge about parentheses and substitution to solve the following:

q = 1; r = 2; s = 3; t = 4; x = 5; y = 6

7. 2(x+4) + 10 =

8. 3(4x) + 4 =

9. 10(xy) =

10. 2(x + y) =

11. 3(rs) + 4(x)

12. 2(q) + 2(x + t) =

13. 6(3t + 4s) =

14. 10(10x) + 10y =

15. x(xy) =

16. r(s)(t) =

17. (r)(s)(t)(x)(y) =

18. 6(2x + 3Y) =

Answer 1

The top one is correct …..correct is correct

Answer 2

Answer: (All below)

Explanation:

1. 2x + y = 10

2(3) + 4) = 10

6 + 4 = 10

2. 3x + 2y =

3(3) = 2(4) =

9 + 8 = 17

3. 3y + 2x = 18

3(4) + 2(3) = 18

12 + 6 = 18

4. 10x + 4y + 2x = 52

10(3) + 4(4) + 2(3) = 52

30 + 16 +6 = 52

46 + 6 = 52

5. 6y + 5x =39

6(4) + 5(3) = 39

24 + 15 = 39

6. 7x + 4y = 37

7(3) + 4(4) = 37

21 + 16 = 37

7. 2(x+4) + 10 = 28

2( 5 + 4) + 10 = 28

2(9) + 10 = 28

18 + 10 = 28

8. 3(4x) + 4 = 64

3(4(5)) + 4 = 64

3(20) + 4 = 64

60 + 4 = 64

9. 10(xy) = 300

10(5(6)) = 300

10(30) = 300

10. 2(x + y) = 22

2(5 + 6) = 22

2(11) = 22

11. 3(rs) + 4(x)

3(2(3)) + 4(5) =

3(6) + 20 =

18 + 20 = 38

12. 2(q) + 2(x + t) = 20

2(1) + 2(5 + 4) = 20

2 + 2(9) = 20

2 + 18 = 20

13. 6(3t + 4s) = 84

6(3(1) + 4(3)) = 84

6(2 + 12) = 84

6(14) = 84

14. 10(10x) + 10y = 560

10(10(5)) + 10(6) = 560

10(50) + 60 = 560

500 + 60 = 560

15. x(xy) = 150

5(5(6)) = 150

5(30) = 150

16. r(s)(t) = 24

2(3(4)) = 24

2(12) = 24

17. (r)(s)(t)(x)(y) =720

(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)= 720

6(20)(6) = 720

120(6) = 720

18. 6(2x + 3Y) = 1080

6(2(5) + 3(6)) = 1080

6(10 + 18) = 1080

6(180) = 1080
