1. 2x + 5y = 33 2) x + 3y = 19
   multiply equation 2 by a factor of 2 giving you 2x + 6y = 38 Your two equation are now: 1) 2x + 5y = 33 3) 2x + 6y = 38
   Subtract 3 from 1 to eliminate the x's ...

This kind of equation is called a quadratic or a polynomial of degree 2.The goal when faced with a quadratic is to solve it as fast as possible. We do this in two steps.
First, we check if there is a...

First, factorise both the top and the bottom expressions. What is the common factor for the top expression? (expect an answer of x). If you factorise out the x, what are you left with? (expect x(x+3))What...

First of all, you are trying to prove that these two lines are parallel. So how would we be able to show this… Well two lines are parallel to one another if they have the same gradient (draw demonstration...
