(𝑎 + 𝑏)2 = 144
𝑎2 + 2𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏 2 = 144
𝑎2 + 2(11) + 𝑏 2 = 144 [M1]
𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 = 122 [A1]

(b) 9𝑥 2 + 15𝑥 + 6
(2𝑥 − 5)(𝑥 + 3) = 0
2𝑥 − 5 = 0 or 𝑥+3=0
𝑥 = 2.5 or 𝑥 = −3 [B1]
(b) 𝑦2 − 4 = 0
𝑦2 − 4 = 0
(𝑦 + 2)(𝑦 − 2) = 0 [M1]
𝑦+2=0 or 𝑦−2=0
∴ 𝑦 = −2 or 𝑦=2 [A1]

2𝑥 = 13 + 3𝑦 –– (2)
From (1): 𝑦 = 3 − 3𝑥 –– (3)
Subst (3) into (2): 2𝑥 = 13 + 3(3 − 3𝑥) [M1] for substitution
2𝑥 = 13 + 9 − 9𝑥
11𝑥 = 22
𝑥=2 [A1]
Subst 𝑥 = 2 into (3): 𝑦 = 3 − 3(2)
𝑦 = −3 [A1]
7 Chocolates were sold in boxes. Each box of chocolates cost $4.80 in 2010.
(a) Given that the price of a box of chocolates increased by 7% from 2005 to
2010, find the price of a box of chocolates in 2005.
100
Price of a box of chocolates in 2005 = $4.80 × 107 [M1]
= $4.49 [A1]
(b) Each box of chocolates cost $5.50 in 2015. Calculate the percentage
increase in the price of a box of chocolates from 2010 to 2015.
5.50−4.80
Percentage increase = × 100% [M1]

10 (a) A bag contains 6 red marbles, 2 blue marbles, 4 green marbles and 3 yellow
marbles. A marble is chosen at random from the bag. Find the probability
that the chosen marble is

11 The distance between Town A and Town B is 224 km. A car travels from Town A
to Town B at the speed of x km/h.
(a) Write down an expression, in terms of 𝑥, for the time taken for the car to
travel from Town A to Town B.
224
Time taken = h [B1]
𝑥
(b) The car increases its speed by 10 km/h during the return journey. Write
down an expression, in terms of 𝑥, for the time taken for the return journey.
224
Time taken = h [B1]

Given that the car took 5 h lesser to complete the return journey, form an
equation in 𝑥 and show that it reduces to 𝑥 2 + 10𝑥 − 5600 = 0 .

− 𝑥+10 = 5 [M1] for forming equation
𝑥
224(𝑥+10)−224𝑥 2
=5 [M1] for common denominator
𝑥(𝑥+10)
[3]
𝑥 2 + 10𝑥 − 5600 = 0
(𝑥 − 70)(𝑥 + 80) = 0 [M1] for factorisation
𝑥 − 70 = 0 or 𝑥 + 80 = 0
𝑥 = 70 or 𝑥 = −80 [A2]
(e) Hence find the time taken for the return journey.
224
Time taken = 𝑥+10
