1. Simplify: 4[a - b(2 + 3a)] - 3a[2+b(4 - a)]
Answer -
4[a - b(2 + 3a)] - 3a[2+b(4 - a)]
or, 4[a - 2b - 3ab] - 3a[2 + 4b - ab]
or, (4a - 8b - 12ab) - (6a + 12ab - 3a2b)
or, 4a - 8b - 12ab -6a - 12ab + 3a2b
or, -2a - 8b - 24ab - 3a2b.
2. Simplify: (7x2 - 2y + z) + (3y - z) + (4x2 - 6y)
Answer -
(7x2 - 2y + z) + (3y - z) + (4x2 - 6y)
or, 7x2 - 2y + z + 3y - z + 4x2 - 6y
or, 7x2 + 4x2 - 2y + 3y- 6y + z - z
or, 11x2 - 5y
or, 11x2 - 5y.
3. Simplify: (8x2 - xy + 4y2) - (12x2 - y2 + 7xy)
Answer -
(8x2 - xy + 4y2) - (12x2 - y2 + 7xy)
or, 8x2 - xy + 4y2 -12x2 + y2 - 7xy
or, 8x2 - 12x2 + 4y2 + y2- xy - 7xy
or, -4x2 + 5y2 - 8xy
or, -4x2 + 5y2 - 8xy.
4. Simplify: (12x2y2 - 15xy2)/(3xy)
Answer -
Taking 3xy common in the numerator, we have -
Cancelling out the 3xy from the numerator and the denominator we have -
4xy - 5y as the ...
