Firstly we need to get all the x's on one side and the numbers on the other side. So if we add 2 to both sides we get 5x > 3x + 13. Now as we want the x's on the right hand side, we need to subtract bo...

Supposing we have two equations x+2y=5 and 3x-y=10 and we want to find x and y we can use the following techinque. Multiply both the RHS and the LHS of the second equation by 2, giving us 6x-2y=20. Then a...

Divide the length of the opposite side by the length of the adjacent side

The key rule is to divide the amount by the denominator and multiply by the nominator. E.g:

3/5 of 45£

divide by the denominator 45/5=9

multiply by the nominator  9*3=27

We have been told that t = 5 in this particular question. So our first step is to simply 'swap out' the t in the above equation for the number 5, as we have been told they mean the same thing. This gives ...
