(a) Simplify fully \(\quad 8m + 4 - 2m + 7\) [2 marks]
(b) Simplify fully \(\quad \dfrac{1}{2}c \times 6d\) [2 marks]
| Answer | Mark | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| \(6m + 11\) or \(11 + 6m\) | B2 | B1 \(6m\) or \((+)11\) |
Additional guidance
| Do not ignore further work for B2 eg \(6m + 11 = 17m\) eg \(6m + 3 = 9m\) | B1 B1 |
| Answer | Mark | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| \(3cd\) or \(3dc\) | B2 | B1 3 or \(cd\) or \(dc\) |
Additional guidance
| \(cd3\) | B1 |
| Use of multiplication signs is max B1 eg \(3 \times cd\) eg \(c \times d\) | B1 B0 |
| \(6\dfrac{1}{2}cd\) | B1 |
| \(\dfrac{1}{2}c6d\) | B0 |
| \(\dfrac{1}{2}c3d\) | B0 |
