To factorise we must think what two numbers add up to 5 but times together to get 6. We know it is two numbers because it is x^(2). If it was x^(3) there could be 3 numbers, ect. We think what goes into 6...

5x + 3 = 455x + 3 - 3 = 45 - 3 (subtract 3 from both sides)5x = 42(5x)/5 = 42/ 5 (divide both sides by 5)x = 8.4 (can either be expressed as a decimal or as fraction)

Formula for the Area of a triangle: A = (base x height)/ 2
Here we have three identical triangles.
Therefore the formula for the Area of the three triangles: A = (b x h) x 3 / 2 = A of trapeziu...

Write out the two equations and label them 1 and 28x + 2y =487x+ 3y= 47The first aim is to get one variable (ie x or y) on both lines to equal each other. The easiest way to do this (keeping the numbers m...
