Algebraic manipulation — practice question

(a)[2]

$s = \frac{1}{2}at^2$. Determine the value of $s$ for $a = 9.8$ and $t = 20$.

(b)[3]

Solve for $y$ in $5(4y - 3) = 15$.

(c)[2]

Expand and simplify the expression $3(5x - 8) - 2(3x - 7)$.

(d)[3]

Rearrange $A = 2b^2 - 3c^3$ so that $c$ is the subject.
