Study Notes

Algebra

  • Solve for x: 3x - 7 = 2x + 5, x = 12

Geometry

  • Check if a triangle is a right triangle: sides 7 cm, 24 cm, and 25 cm (Yes, it is a right triangle)

Probability

  • Probability of drawing a red or blue ball: P(red or blue) = (5 + 3)/10 = 8/10 = 4/5

Fractions

  • Simplify the expression: (3/4) + (5/6) - (1/3) = (9/12) + (10/12) - (4/12) = 15/12 = 5/4

Number Patterns

  • Find the 10th term of the arithmetic sequence 4, 7, 10, 13,...: 4 + (10-1) × 3 = 4 + 27 = 31

Percentages

  • Calculate the sale price of a shirt: original price 60,2560, 25% off = 60,2560 × 0.75 = $45

Word Problems

  • Average speed of a car: distance 150 km, time 3 hours, speed = 150/3 = 50 km/h

Area and Perimeter

  • Calculate the area and perimeter of a rectangle: length 10 cm, width 6 cm, area = 10 × 6 = 60 cm², perimeter = 2(10 + 6) = 32 cm

Ratios

  • Number of boys in a class: ratio of boys to girls is 3:4, total students 28, number of boys = (3/7) × 28 = 12

Simultaneous Equations

  • Solve the simultaneous equations: 2x + 3y = 12, x - y = 3, solution x = 3, y = 0
