Simplify fully: (7x^2 - 21x)/(x^2 + 2x - 15)

This one is quite complicated to answer typed up like this and i would definitley use a white board Show that 7x^2 - 21x can be come x(7x-21) which can in turn become 7x(x-3) Show that x^2 + 2x - 15 can become (x+5)(x-3) since 5x-3=-15 5+-3=+2 Show that [7x(x-3)]/[(x+5)(x-3)] (x-3) then can cancel out to become 7x/(x+5)

Solve the following simultaneous equations: 2x + y = 17, x - y = 4


Expand and simplify (x-2)(2x-3)(x+1)


If side A is 3m and side B is 4m, what would be the length of the remaining side C?


Can you solve these simultaneous equations and find the values of x and y? Equation 1: 2x + y = 14 Equation 2: 4x - y = 10.
