Golden rule: Do the Same thing to both sides of the equation Approach in 4 steps 1) Multiply out any brackets 2) Gather the like terms (Use analogy of apples and oranges) 3) Get all unknown terms to one s...

The sides of the cuboid are as follows: x, x+1 and x+2. Total surface area of a cuboid is the area of each surface added together. Therefore 2x(x+2)+2x(x+1)+2(x+2)(x+1)= 52 units².

2x²+4x+2x²+2x+2x...

The answer is: n = (m + 21)/5 How did we get this? Right now, the equation is written in the form where m is the subject. We want to rearrange this so that n is the subject of the formula. The formula sho...

This is an example of a pythagoras. The student has to use the knowledge that the hypotenuse (longest side) is the square root of the sum of the squares of the known sides. In this instance, it would be 4...

Use the elimination method to remove a common coefficient.

Multiply one of the equations to find a common coefficient, eg multiply the second equation by 2 to get 2x + 4y = 22, to reach the common ...
