    Yes why was there so many marks for that question?!
    It involved a lot steps such as rearrangement etc

    It wasn't a simple equation such as y=2x+1 (4.6)


    Tbh the 4 mark questions were very simple and it was a very straightforward paper.

    Don't get me wrong but if you properly prepared for this paper then there's no reason why you can't get 80%+

    Ended up with y=-x+10 for the perpendicular question, apart from that I found the exam pretty easy.
    Last question I got x-5/2x^2, surds i got 2root6 and recurring decimal as fraction I got 23/90.
    I got 23/99 for recurring decimal but got all if the working, not simplified thats all, how many marks you reckon?

    Zed I got 137.5

    80kmh is 50mph.
    50 x 2 = 100
    50/4 = 12.5
    12.5 x 3 = 37.5
    100 + 37.5 = 137.5

    They dont expect you to simplify that. It is a non calculator exam so you should be able to get the mark if the working out if correct.

    They asked to simplify it I think but I should get 1 out of 2 marks?
