A t-shirt is in the sale section of a store. It has 20% off and the new sale price is £12. What was the original price of the t-shirt?

Original Price x Percentage Multiplier = New Price

Percentage Multiplier = (100-20)/100 = 0.8

OP x 0.8 = £12

OP = £12/0.8 = £15

Use the factor theorem to show that (x+2) is a factor of g(x)= 4x^3 - 12x^2 - 15x + 50


Simultaneous equation: (x-3y)=9,(2x+3y)=0


Please factorise fully: 2a^2 + 6a


2(x+4)=x+10
