Hi folks,

Welcome back. I hope you have done the previous algebra worksheets.

If you have not, click here to get the notes and the questions.

Here are the answers and step-by-step working to the previous algebra worksheets:

Expand the following
1. 3(2+x)

= 3×2 + 3.x

= 6 + 3x

2. 4(p+1)

= 4.p + 4×1

= 4p + 4

3. p(3+x)

= p×3 + p.x

= 3p + px

4. 5(2x+1)

= 5×2x + 5×1

= 10x + 5

5. 2(x+y)

= 2×x + 2×y

= 2x + 2y

6. 8(a+2b)

= 8×a + 8×2b

= 8a + 16b

7. ½(2x+4y)

= ½×2x + ½×4y

= x + 2y

8. 8(7c-5d)

= 8×7c + 8×5d

= 56c + 40d

9. 4(-2f+5d)

= 4(-2f) + 4(5d)

= -8f + 20d

10. 6(-m-3n)

= 6(-m) + 6(-3n)

= -6m -18n

Hi folks,

Welcome back. Sorry that I did not update this blog for a while. I was actually busy with something else.

Today, we'll be learning about expansion pf some algebra equations.

Expansion

General equation

p(q + r) = pq + pr

For example:
2(x + 3)
= 2.x + 2.3 ( the dots represent multiplication )
= 2x + 6

Here's another example:

3x(y+5)
= 3x.y + 3x.5 ( the dots represent multiplication )
= 3xy + 15x

I think this is pretty straight forward for you folks. If you still don't understand, please don't hesitate to post your question or doubt in the comment column.

Here are some free algebra worksheets on expansion for you.

Expand the following
1. 3(2+x)
2. 4(p+1)
3. p(3+x)
4. 5(2x+1)

6. 8(a+2b)
7. ½(2x+4y)
8. 8(7c-5d)
9. 4(-2f+5d)
10. 6(-m-3n)

Answer and solution to Algebra Worksheets #1

Welcome back to Algebra Worksheets.

Here’s the answer to the previous algebra worksheets.

If x = -3 and y = 2, what is the value of the expression 2X² – 5xy?

2X² – 5xy

= 2(-3)² – 5(-3)(2)

= 18 – (-30)

= 18 + 30

= 48

If a = 4 and b = 7, calculate the value of 7a³ + 3ab – 3a².

7a³ + 3ab – 3a²

= 7(4)³ + 3(4)(7) – 3(4)²

= 7(64) + 3(28) – 3(16)

= 448 + 84 – 48

= 580

Given p = 4 and q = 9. Find the value of 4p²q³ – 6p³ + 10q² – 5.

4p²q³ – 6p³ + 10q² – 5

= 4(4)²(9)³ – 6(4)³ + 10(9)² – 5

= 4(16)(729) – 6(64) + 10(81) – 5

= 4(11664) – 384 + 810 – 5

= 46656 – 384 + 810 – 5

= 47077

In Kids Birthday Cake Restaurant, 3 cheese cakes and 2 swiss rolls cost $22.40. But 4 cheese cakes and 3 swiss rolls cost $31.20. Calculate the price of a cheese cake and a swiss roll.

Let cheese cake = x

Let swiss roll = y

3x + 2y = $22.40 ---- 1

4x + 3y = $31.20 ---- 2

Multiply the equation 1 with 3

(3x + 2y = $22.40) ×3 and you will get

9x + 6y = $67.20 ---- 3

Multiply equation 2 with 2

(4x + 3y = $31.20) × 2 and you’ll get

8x + 6y = $62.40 ---- 4

Equation 3 – equation 4:

9x + 6y = $67.20 ---- 3

8x + 6y = $62.40 ---- 4

---------------------------

X = $5.20

Substitute x = $5.20 into equation 1

3x + 2y = $22.40

3($5.20) + 2y = $22.40

$15.60 + 2y = $22.40

2y = $22.40 - $15.60

2y = $6.80

y = $6.80/2

y = $3.40

Answer: A cheese cake cost $5.20 and a swiss roll cost $3.40

The Answer for the Previous Algebra Worksheets

2007-08-24T05:12:00.000-07:00

Hi folks, welcome back to Algebra Worksheets.

If you haven't read the previous post, which is the question, I suggest you to read it first. Click here.

Answer:

Let's count the number of tank which can be filled the those 4 taps in an hour first.

The first tap can fill up 1 tank in an hour.

The second tap can fill up 4/3 tank per hour. (1/3 tank per quarter hour)

The third tap can fill up 2 tanks in an hour.

The fourth tap can fill up 4 tanks per hour.

So, if all the taps were turned on at the same time, they are capable to fill up

(1+4/3+2+4) tanks = 8 + 1/3 tank = 25/3 tank

If

1 hour = 25/3 tank

then

1 tank will be equivalent to 3/25hour

1 tank = 3/25 hour
= (3/25 X 60) minutes
= 7.2 minutes
= 7 minutes and 12 seconds.

Hi folks, are you ready to give your brain some exercise? If you do, try this simple Algebra Worksheets.

Here's the question:

You have a tank which has 4 taps. The first tap can fill the tank in an hour. The second tap can fill the tank in 45 minutes. The third tap can fill the tank in 30 minutes and the fourth tap can fill up the tank in just 15 minutes.

Now, my question is, how long will it take to fill up the whole tank if all the four taps are all turned on at the same time?

Please post your answer in the comment section. Feel free to include the working if you can.

I'll get this back to you.

Good luck!
