Question 1
[a]
5 9 51
8 ÷2 ×
17 11 11
Following the BODMAS procedure:
141 31 51 141 11 51
÷ × = × ×
17 11 11 17 31 11

[b]
19+ ( 6+ 4 × 2−13 )−91÷ 7
Solving the bracket part:
( 6+ 4 ×2−13 )=( 6 +8−13 )=1
So we have,
19+1−91÷ 7
Next is division:
19+1−13
Then addition followed by subtraction:
20−13=7

Question 2
Total stamps ¿ 4800
Let’s assume that Jan received x stamps.
Ian received (x−160) stamps
Kee received 2 x stamps
Hence,
(x−160)+ x+ 2 x=4800
4 x−160=4800
4 x=4800+160
4 x=4960
x=1240
So, Jan received 1,240 stamps
Kee received: 2 ×1240=2480 stamps
Ian received: ( x−160)=(1240−160)=1080 stamps

Question 3
[a]
5 z+ 7 (13 z +3 ) −11(9−15 z )
Expansion:
5 z+ 91 z +21−99+165 z
Collecting like terms;
5 z+ 91 z +165 z +21−99
Simplifying:
261 z−78

The LCM for all the denominators is 36 . So,
9 ( 8 z+17 )+ 4 ( 13 z )−36 (7)

Question 4
[a]
−9 ( 4 z+ 8 )=15 z−10
Solving for z ;
−36 z−72=15 z−10
−36 z−15 z=−10+72
−51 z=62

[b]
V =10+ 0.5 U (17+ Z)/7
The LCM is 7
7 ( 10 ) +0.5 U (17+ Z )
V=
7
70+8.5 U +0.5 UZ
V=

7 V =70+ 8.5 U+ 0.5 UZ
7 V −8.5U −70=0.5UZ
7 V −8.5 U−70
Z=
0.5 U
We can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2;
14 V −17 U−140
Z=
U
OR
14 V 140
Z= − −17
U U
14 V −140
Z= −17
