3. Find the missing numbers in the following: 12 + = 100 + 73 = 100 The cost of a plumber’s bill is £40 per hour plus a £20 call out fee. How much would it cost to call out a plumber for a 3 hour job? Simplify these expressions 3a + 2b + 2a – b 3(x + 5) m(n – p) 4(a + 2b) – 2(2a + b) Find the value of these expressions when a = 4. 3a 2 + 4 2a 3 Factorise these expressions 30x – 24 25x 2 + 20x Multiply out these brackets and simplify the result: (x + 4)(x - 3) (p - q) 2 (3x + 2) 2 Factorise x 2 + 5x + 6 x 2 + x - 6
