Expand the following : (2x+3)(x-1)

We multiply the 2x in the first bracket by everything in the second bracket to give: 2x2-2xWe then multiply the 3 in the first bracket by everything in the second bracket to give: 3x-3Putting 2x2-2x and 3x-3 together we get: 2x2+x-3

How do you solve simultaneous equations?


Solve this simultaneous equation: 5x+6y=3 and 2x-3y=12.


Two dice are thrown at the same time. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers on the dice is greater than 7?


Probabilities: "A bag contains counters that are red, blue, green and yellow. There are 9 red, (3x) blue, (x-5) green and (2x) yellow. If the probability of picking a red at random is 9/100, work out the probability of picking a green."
