    7cd – 7ef

    3cd – 8ef 4cd + ef

    4cd – 4ef –cd – 4ef 5cd + 5ef

    3cd + 4ef cd – 8ef –2cd + 4ef 7cd + ef

    6 a 1. 7ab and 2ac can’t be simplified by adding them together as the algebra terms are different.
    2. 4xy − yx can be simplified by subtraction to 3xy as the algebra terms are the same.
    b 1. 7ab + 2ac 2. x2 + 3xy

    4 a 2x2 + 7x b 6z2 + 6z c u2 + 2u d 2w2 + 20wx
    5 a 1. He wrote −6x + 21 instead of −6x − 21.
    2. ac + 3bc can’t be simplified by adding them together as the algebra terms are different.
    3. He worked out x(3x + 4y) = 9x2 + 4xy, instead of 3x2 + 4xy.
    b 1. 2x + 19 2. ac + 3bc 3. 3x2 + 2y2 + 14xy
