number in the sequence with the general term

(2) Find the value of (-10) – ( -05) – (+8)

(3) Expand −𝑥(2𝑥 − 2 𝑦 − 𝑧)

(4) Use the below information to calculate the mass of olives purchased by Siril at her local
convenience store:
Siril asked for 100 g of olives. After first weighing 172 g of olives, the store worker took out 03
g and then put back 07 g.

(5) Mark a black dot at all the even positive integers between -7 and +9 on the number line.

■ Answer the Question 9 and 10 by considering the following Drawing

85 + 68+127 = 211°
360 – 211 = 149°
x = 149°

(9) John writes the above calculations to find x but the teacher said it's wrong by using the
knowledge of the lesson angles explain why john is wrong

(10) Workout the correct value of x

( 1 ×10 = 10 marks )

Part II

1. 01. Study the house plan of Miss.Kuweni and answer the questions and let “x” be 8 m

i. What is the perimeter of Kuweni’s Kitchen?

ii. If her husband Vijaya wants to lighten her living room by LED light strip around Living Room and
bedroom 2 then what will be the total length of the LED strip

iii. If her daughter Disala said bedroom 2 has higher perimeter than the Kitchen, state whether is it
correct or wrong

iv. If she wants to protect her family by Naga Lokey Knights then she will spread a fire all around her house then
what will be the total fire spreading length
