Solve for \( x \), without using a calculator: \( \begin{array}{l}\text { 2.1.1 } \quad 6 x^{2}-x-1=0 \\ 2.1 .2 \quad 3^{2 x-1}=\frac{1}{243}\end{array} \)

\( \equiv \) (i) Listen A bowl contains blueberries and strawberries. There are a total of 12 berries in the bowl. The ratio of blueberries to strawberries is 1 to 2 . How many of each berry are in the bowl? \( \square \) blueberries strawberries

3. Question 3. Solve \( x-5=3 x+2 \)

Three consecutive numbers their sum is 48 write an equation express that is .... \( \begin{array}{l}3 x+2=48 \\ 3 x+4=48 \\ 3 x+3=48 \\ 3 x-3=48\end{array} \)

a \( \quad 2^{3} \cdot 2^{-4} \)

Add \( 5 \mathrm{a}-3 \mathrm{~b} \) and \( -5 \mathrm{~b}+3 \mathrm{a} \) the result is ...... \[ \begin{array}{l}8 \mathrm{a}-8 \mathrm{~b} \\ 8 \mathrm{a}+8 \mathrm{~b} \\ 8 \mathrm{~b}-8 \mathrm{a} \\ 2 \mathrm{a}-2 \mathrm{~b}\end{array} \]
