A plate of rice cost \( \$ 8 \) and a plate of noodles cost \( \$ 5 \). After paying for 3 plates of noodles and 2 plates of rice, Mr Chow had \( \$ 29 \) left. How much money did he have at first?

uisl 3 a) \( x^{2}-12=0 \) b) \( 4 x^{2}-7 x=0 \) c) \( 6 x+12 x^{2}=0 \)

Which expressions are equivalent to the given expression? \( 5 \log _{10} x+\log _{10} 20-\log _{10} 10 \)

It would take Charlene and Gina 18 minutes to organize Charlene's comic book collection if they work together. If Gina works alone, it would take her 15 minutes longer than it would take Charlene working alone. When \( x \) represents the number of minutes it takes Charlene to organize the comic book collection working alone, the situation is represented by this equation: \( \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x+15}=\frac{1}{18} \), Which value is a solution of the rational equation that must be discarded because of the context? A. \( x=0 \) B. \( x=-9 \) C. \( x=-15 \) D. \( x=-30 \)

5. \( \left(16 x^{2}\right)^{-1} \)

Find the value of \( m \) if \( \alpha+\beta=-2 \). (b) Seterusnya, bentukkan persamaan kuadratik dengan punca-punca \( \alpha \) dan \( \beta \). Hence, form a quadratic equation with roots \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \).
