candidate should recognise the equation is a difference between two squares.
the next step is to factorise: square root of 25 is 5
(x-5)(x+5) = x^2-25
x= -5 x= 5

First the equation for y must be substituted into the first equation to give a quadratic equation in x. Rearrange this equation so that the left-hand side equals 0. Using the quadratic formula the possibl...

initially, explain Pythagorean's Theory --> a^2 + b^2 = c^2.explain c is the hypotenuse, a and b can be either base or height.using a as base and b as height, a = 2x+1. b = h. c = 3xsubstitute into for...

First scale one of the equations so that upon addition or subtraction from another of the equations we cancel one of the 3 variables, next do this again replacing one of the equations used with the unused...
