A is the point with coordinates (5, 9) B is the point with coordinates (d, 15). The gradient of the line AB is 3. Work out the value of d.

gradient is calculated using the change in y coordinates divided by change in x coordinates. so, (15-9)/(d-5)=3 => 6/(d-5)= 3rearrange this equation to get d on one side (6/3)+5 = d therefore d= 7

Functions question: f(x) = 3x + 2a; g(x) = ax + 6; fg(x) = 12x + b. a and b are constants; Work out the value of b

So this is a functions question which is essentially asking you to combine the first two functions and then equate them with the last one.
fg(x) can be considered as replacing the x in f(x) with g(x)...
