- 1.Which of these is an inequality?
- 2.Ben writes n + 4 ≤ 9. Which statement describes what Ben has written? Give a reason for your answer.
- 3.A phone company works out a monthly bill, £B, using the formula B = 18 + 0.05t, where £18 is the fixed monthly charge and t is the number of extra text messages sent beyond the free allowance, each charged at 5p. Farida's bill for one month is £24.50. Work out the number of extra text messages, t, she sent.
- 4.The formula for converting a temperature from degrees Celsius, C, to degrees Fahrenheit, F, is F = 1.8C + 32. Work out F when C = 20, and identify what kind of mathematical statement F = 1.8C + 32 is.

- 6.Which of these statements is an equation with exactly one solution?
- 7.Which of these is a term, rather than a whole expression, an equation, or a formula?
- 8.Which of these is a formula?
- 9.Which of these statements is an identity?
- 10.Which of these is an equation, rather than an expression, a formula or an identity?

- 14.A plumber charges a £40 call-out fee plus £25 for each hour worked. The total charge, £C, for a job lasting h hours is given by C = 40 + 25h. Work out the charge for a job lasting 3 hours, and name what kind of statement C = 40 + 25h is.
- 15.A rectangle has area 24x + 18. Ffion factorises the area as 6(4x + 3). Work out the value of the area when x = 2, and decide whether 6 and (4x + 3) are correctly identified as factors of 24x + 18.
