Performance Task
PROBLEM SOLVING.
Instructions: Solve and reason out each problem/situation completely/logically by showing systematic
solutions.
1. Your friend multiplied (x – 1)/(2 – x) and (1 + x)/(1 – x). His solution is presented below:
(x – 1)/(2 – x) •(x + 1)/( 1 – x) = (x – 1) (x + 1) = ( x + 1)/(2 – x)
(2 – x) (1 – x)
Is his solution correct? Explain your answer.
2. One number is four less than twice another number. If the smaller number is divided by 2
and the larger number by 3, the sum of the quotients is 8. What are the numbers? Show
your solution.
