Algebra

Simplifying algebraic expressions


Note: ab=ba, xy=yx, ab2=b2a and xy2=y2x they are like terms

1. 4ab + 10bc − 2ab − 5cb

2. 3ba − ab + 3ab − 5ab

3. 4gh − 5jk – 2gh + 7

4. 2p2 − 5p2 + 2p − 4p

5. 2x2y − xy2 + 3yx2 − 2y2x

Writing algebraic expressions

1. Write an algebraic expression for:

i. The sum of a number and 7.


ii. Twice a number, increased by 5.
iii. A number divided by 3, minus 4.

2. Jamila is m years old.


Write expressions for the ages of each of these people.
a. Laila is 6 times as old as Jamila.

b. Maggie is 3 years older than Jamila.

c. Ami is 6 years younger than Jamila.

d. Iman is half the age of Jamila.

e. Rashid is 5 years older than twice Jamila’s age.

f. Ruth is 3 years younger than 5 times Jamila’s age.


3. Write an algebraic expression for the perimeter of a rectangle where the length is
represented by ‘l’ and the width is represented by ‘w’.

4. A car rental company charges a fixed fee of $20 plus $5 per day for renting a car.
Write an expression for the total cost (C) for renting the car for ’d’ days.

Writing formulae
1. Renting a car costs £15 per hour.
i. Write an expression for the cost for x hours.
ii. Write a formula,

2. Alika earns £9 per hour.


i. Write an expression for how much she earns in x hours.
ii. Write a formula for her earnings, E, in x hours.
3. An online company charges $5 to rent a film and $10 to download a film.
i. Write an expression for the cost for x hours.

ii. Write a formula,

Using formulae

F
1. The formula to calculate pressure (P) in N/m2 is P¿ , where: F = force in N and A = area in m2.
A
Work out the pressure
i. when F=200 N and A= 2 m2

ii. When F = 500 N and A = 0.5 m2

2. The approximate perimeter, P, of a semicircle can be calculated using the formula


3a
P=a+
2
Work out the approximate perimeter when a = 4 cm.

3. Use the formula b = 10t – c to work out the value of b when


i. t = 3, c = 5
ii. t = 1, c = 7

iii. t = 4, c = −2

iv. t = 3, c = − 4

EXPANDING BRACKETS

Expand and simplify:

i. 5(2 + 3a)

ii. 2(b – 4c)

iii. –3(2a + 8)

iv. –4(3 – x)

v. –(a – 2b)

vi. 3a + 2(a + 2b)

vii. 3(t – 4) – 6

viii. 7x – (x – y)

SOLVING EQUATIONS
1. 5x = 20

2. x + 5 = 20

3. x – 5 = 20

x
4. = 20
5

5. 20 – x = 5
