Draw rectangle with length x and width (x - 25)show that area = length * width = x(x -25) = x2 - 25xx2 - 25x = 2200x2 - 25x -2200 = 0This cannot be factorised therefore must use quadratic equation: x = [-...

To simply this expression means to write this same expression in its lowest terms. The first step we need to do is expand two of these brackets, we will start with the bracket in the middle and the last ...

You need to follow the basic rules of expanding brackets i.e. before doing any of the sums inside of the bracket (which would be impossible as you do not know the value of 'm'), you need to perform the ta...
