Solve (11-w)/4 = 1 + w

So we start off with (11-w)/4 = 1+w

First of all, we will multiply both sides by 4 to make the '/4' disappear. This gives us 11-w = 4+4w

Then move all the w's to one side of the equation to leave us with 7 = 5w

Therefore, w = 7/5

A car costs £300. The price is then reduced by 20%. However, the shop increases the new price by 15%. Fadhila says, "20 - 15 = 5, so the original price of the car has been reduced 5%". Is she right? What is the final price of the car?


a) You area told that y is proportional to x2 and that when y = 75, x = 5. Find a formula for y in terms of x. y = x b) Find the value of y when x = 3. c) Find the value of x when y = 1200.


Factorise x^2 + 5x + 6


Make x the subject of the equation: 2x+7=5x
