(a) Multiply out.\[3x(x + 2y)\]

[2]

(b) Solve.

(i) \(7x = 28\) [1]

(ii) \(\dfrac{x}{3} - 2 = 9\) [2]

Answer	Marks	Part marks and guidance
\(3x^2 + 6xy\) final answer	2	B1 for \(3x^2\) or \(6xy\) seen	Condone \(6yx\) Do not accept eg \(6 \times x \times y\)

Mark scheme (b)

Answer	Marks	Part marks and guidance
(i) 4	1
(ii) 33	2	M1 for \(\dfrac{x}{3} = 9 + 2\) or better or M1 for \(x = a \times b\) following \(\dfrac{x}{b} = a\)	Alternative method M1 for \(x - 6 = 27\) or M1 for \(x = a + b\) following \(x - a = b\)
