General Instructions

  • All questions are compulsory.
  • Section A carries 1 mark each, Section B 2 marks, Section C 3 marks and Section D 5 marks.
  • Show all working for Sections B, C and D. Only final answers are given at the end — for full solutions, raise your doubts with your teacher.
Section A — Multiple Choice Questions 5 × 1 = 5 marks
1.
In substitution we express:
  • A.both as constants
  • B.one variable in terms of the other
  • C.the sum
  • D.nothing
2.
The three methods include substitution, elimination and:
  • A.graphing
  • B.cross-multiplication
  • C.trial
  • D.division
3.
Solving $x+y=10,\ x-y=4$ gives $x=$
  • A.$5$
  • B.$7$
  • C.$3$
  • D.$6$
4.
If $2x=8$ then $x=$
  • A.$2$
  • B.$4$
  • C.$6$
  • D.$16$
5.
Cross-multiplication uses the coefficients of:
  • A.one equation
  • B.both equations
  • C.neither
  • D.only constants
Section B — Short Answer (2 marks) 4 × 2 = 8 marks
6.
Solve $x+y=6,\ x-y=2$.
7.
Solve $2x+y=7$ with $x=2$.
8.
Solve by elimination: $x+y=5,\ 2x-y=4$.
9.
Solve $x-y=3,\ x+y=9$.
Section C — Short Answer (3 marks) 4 × 3 = 12 marks
10.
Solve by substitution: $2x+3y=12,\ x-y=1$.
11.
Solve by elimination: $3x+2y=12,\ 5x-2y=4$.
12.
Solve $2x+y=5,\ 3x+2y=8$.
13.
Solve $x+y=9,\ x-y=1$.
Section D — Long Answer (5 marks) 2 × 5 = 10 marks
14.
Solve $2x+3y=11$ and $2x-4y=-24$; then find $m$ if $y=mx+3$.
15.
Solve by cross-multiplication: $8x+5y=9,\ 3x+2y=4$.
