Linear and Quadratic Algebra

Worksheet illustration

📚 Part 1: Multiple Choice & Classification

1. Simplify: 3(x + 4) − 2x

x + 12

5x + 12

3x + 8

x + 4

2. Factorise: x² + 5x + 6

(x + 2)(x + 3)

(x + 6)(x − 1)

(x + 3)²

Prime — cannot be factorised

3. A taxi charges a $4 flag fall plus $2.50 per kilometre. What is the fare for a 10 km trip?

$25.00

$29.00

$30.00

$24.00

4. Check all that apply: Which of the following are quadratic equations?

x² − 4x + 4 = 0

3x + 2 = 7

y = 2x + 1

x² = 9

✏️ Part 2: Short Answers & Working

5. Expand and simplify: (2x − 3)(x + 5)
6. Solve. Show your working: 4x − 7 = 2x + 9
7. Solve the inequality and write the solution clearly: 3x + 6 > 6x + 12
8. For y = 3x − 2: state the gradient and the y-intercept, then sketch a quick graph for x = −1, 0, 1.

Gradient: _______________    Y-intercept: _______________

9. For y = x² − 4: give the vertex and the x-intercepts, then sketch the parabola (label intercepts).

Vertex: _______________    x-intercepts: _______________

10. In one or two sentences, explain why checking your algebraic solution in the context of a problem is important. (Give a New Zealand example if you can.)
