Using the formula ax²+bx+c, multiply the value of coefficient a, from your equation, with the value of c. Next, try to think of two factors of the number you just calculated, which also add tog...

2x + y = 18x - y = 6. There are a few methods you can use to tackle simultaneous equations. The one I find the easiest is making one of the unknowns a subject and plugging it back into the other equ...

Completing the square is a method of solving quadratic equations that can't be factorised. The end goal is to express the quadratic in the form:(x + a)² = -bWhich allows us to root both sides a...

The first step would be to rearrange the first equation to make y the subject:
3x+y=-4 ----> y=-4-3x
Next we want to substitute this value of y into the second equation
3x-4y=6 ----->...

Firstly, take a common denominator for the left hand-side of the equation which would be 12 and then carrying out the subtraction. After carrying out the subtraction you will be left with two fractions - ...
