Algebra Problem-Solving Quest

Choose the best answer where options are given. For written questions, show your working and include units when needed.

Choose and check

1.Make r the subject of r + s = 41.
  • r = 41 + s
  • r = 41 − s
  • r = s − 41
  • r = 41s
2.Make k the subject of 5k − j = 18.
  • k = (18 − j) ÷ 5
  • k = (18 + j) ÷ 5
  • k = 18 + 5j
  • k = 5(18 + j)
3.If a = 7, what is 3a + 4?
  • 15
  • 21
  • 25
  • 33
4.Select every pair of like terms.
  • 4m and 9m
  • 2p and 2p²
  • 8 and 3
  • 5xy and 7yx

Match, rearrange and simplify

5.Match each expression to its simplified form.
  • 6x + 2x
  • 10 − 4
  • 3a + 5a − a
  • 4y + 3 + 2y + 6
  • 6
  • 6y + 9
  • 8x
  • 7a
6.Rearrange P = 2w + 2h to make h the subject.
7.Use P = 58 cm and w = 11 cm in the formula P = 2w + 2h. Find h.
8.Simplify 7n − 3 + 2n + 8.
9.A kayak hire shop charges $28 per hour plus a one-off $16 launch fee. The total cost is C dollars for t hours, so C = 28t + 16. Rearrange the formula to make t the subject.
10.Using C = 28t + 16, how many hours of kayak hire does a total payment of $156 cover?
