Question 1

1.1 |3 − 5𝑥| > 4


∴ 3 − 5𝑥 < −4 or 3 − 5𝑥 > 4 
∴ −5𝑥 < −7 or −5𝑥 > 1 
7 1
∴ 𝑥 > 5 or 𝑥 < − 5  (3)

1.2 2|𝑥 − 3| − 4 = 3𝑥 − 8
∴ 2|𝑥 − 3| = 3𝑥 − 4 
∴ 4(𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 + 9) = 9𝑥 2 − 24𝑥 + 16 
∴ 4𝑥 2 − 24𝑥 + 36 = 9𝑥 2 − 24𝑥 + 16
∴ 5𝑥 2 − 20 = 0 
∴ 𝑥 = 2 or 𝑥 = −2 
∴𝑥=2 (5)

∴ ≥0
(𝑥−1)(𝑥+1)
7𝑥+1
∴ (𝑥−1)(𝑥+1) ≥ 0 

∴ −1 < 𝑥 ≤ − 7  or 𝑥 > 1  (6)

𝑥−2 1 3𝑥−7
1.4 𝑥−1
+ 5−𝑥 = − 𝑥 2 −6𝑥+5
𝑥−2 1 3𝑥−7
∴ 𝑥−1 − 𝑥−5 = − (𝑥−5)(𝑥−1) 
∴ (𝑥 − 2)(𝑥 − 5) − (𝑥 − 1) = −(3𝑥 − 7) 
∴ 𝑥 2 − 7𝑥 + 10 − 𝑥 + 1 = −3𝑥 + 7 
∴ 𝑥 2 − 5𝑥 + 4 = 0 
∴ 𝑥 = 4 or 𝑥 = 1 
∴𝑥=4 (6)

1.5 𝑥 2 − 𝑥 + 2 = √𝑥 2 − 𝑥 + 8
Let 𝑥 2 − 𝑥 = 𝑘
∴ 𝑘 + 2 = √𝑘 + 8 
∴ 𝑘 2 + 4𝑘 + 4 = 𝑘 + 8 
∴ 𝑘 2 + 3𝑘 − 4 = 0 
∴ 𝑘 = 1 of 𝑘 = −4 
∴𝑘=1
∴ 𝑥2 − 𝑥 = 1 
∴ 𝑥 = 1,62 or 𝑥 = −0,62  (7)

Question 2

9𝑥 2 +6𝑥+6 𝐴 𝐵 𝐶
2.1 (𝑥+1)2 (2𝑥−1)
= 𝑥+1 + (𝑥+1)2 + 2𝑥−1 
∴ 𝐴(𝑥 + 1)(2𝑥 − 1) + 𝐵(2𝑥 − 1) + 𝐶(𝑥 + 1)2 = 9𝑥 2 + 6𝑥 + 6 
If 𝑥 = −1: −3𝐵 = 9 ∴ 𝐵 = −3 

3.4 Let no. of children be 𝑥


936000
Amount each should receive is 𝑥
New no. of children is 𝑥 − 2
936000
Each receive 𝑥−2
936000 936000
∴ 𝑥−2 − 𝑥 = 39000 
∴ 936000𝑥 − 936000(𝑥 − 2) = 39000𝑥(𝑥 − 2) 
∴ 936000𝑥 − 936000𝑥 + 1872000 = 39000𝑥 2 − 78000𝑥 
∴ 39000𝑥 2 − 78000𝑥 − 1872000 = 0 
∴ 𝑥 = 8 or 𝑥 = −6 
∴𝑥=8 (7)
