To simplify the expression we use B(rackets)I(nidices)D(ivision)M(ultiplication)A(ddition)S(subtraction) in this specific order.Hence, here the first thing we need to do is identify each element of BIDMAS...

So, to solve these equations, you must choose the variable you want to work with, in this case let's go with y. Make sure that you write out every step of your working so it is easy to follow and minimise...

We start with: 2ln6 - ln3 ... First, we rewrite this expression as: ln6 + ln6 - ln3 ... Next, we rewrite this as: ln(23) + ln(23) - ln3 ... Using the log rule log_axy = log_ax...

Mark ordered 78 apples, this is because there are 13 in each of the six boxes he ordered. On your calculator 6x13=78, therefore he ordered 78 apples.

We start by expanding the brackets : (√5 x √8) + (√5 x √18). A common mistake here is to attempt to add √8 and √18 together. We can't do this because of algebra rules. BIDMAS states that multiplicatio...
