C2.1 Add and subtract monomials with a degree of 1, and add binomials with a degree of 1 that involve integers, using tools.

Activity 1: Addition and Subtraction of Monomials


Add and subtract the following monomials:

  • ab - 3a + 4ab + 5a
  • 4c + 6c2 + 7c - 3c2
  • 4m + 6n + 3 + 7n - 2m + 5

Activity 2: Addition of Binomials


Add the following binomials:

  • (3a + 5b) + (2a + 4b)
  • (4c + 2d) + (-2c + 3d)
  • (5e + 6f) + (3k + 9l)
  • (4x - 5) + (6x + 4)

Activity 3: Real-Life Application of Binomials


The base and height of a certain rectangle are expressed as x + 6 and x + 2. Write an expression representing the perimeter of this rectangle.
