Because if we simply expand (x+y)² we'd get x²+y²+2xy which shows that there's an extra term which is 2xy. another practical way to check your work and see why LHS ≠ RHS i...

recognise this equation has the form ax^2 + bx + c =0. An equation with this form is a quadratic. Recognise in a quadratic equation there will be 2 values of x that will equal 0. These 2 values wil...

To get the smallest value of w-x we will need the smallest value of w and the largest value of x.Our smallest possible value of w=41.Our largest possible value of x=29.So the smallest value of w-x = 41-29...

These are simultaneous equations. To solve them, we need to do something to these equations to that either the coefficents of x or y are the same. So multiply each equation by a suitable number,  a good c...

There are two methods of solving this question. First let's look at the prices we already know. The jar of jam is £2.19, or else said 2 pounds and 19 pence. The chocolate bar is 57 pence, so not a whole p...
