This question is done by substituting either the x or y. To do this, rearrange the second equation to make y the subject. We make y the subject as it keeps the equation and calculation simple. After rearr...

I would tell them to start multiplying out the first brackets (x+2)(x+3)! I would do this by timesing x by everything in the second bracket and then 2 by everything in the second brakcet! Giving the answe...

We can solve simultaneous equations one of two ways. We can either substitute one equation into the other or we can eliminate one of the unknowns only leaving us one to deal with. I will explain both meth...

1.Simplify the two equations: 4x+y=17and 2x+y=9. 2. Rearrange one of the equations to make y=: y=9-2x. 3.Substitute into other equation:4x+9-2x=17. 4. Simplify:2x=8 x=4. 5.Substitute back into either of t...

Quadratic formula: where ax^2+bx+c =0, x = (-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a.Rearrange the formula in the question to get 3x^2+4x-20 = 0.From the quadratic in the question we can see that a = 3, b = 4, c = -20.Therefore...
