Recap defintions: factorise essentially means making the equation simpler by finding the common factors. 

This is a simple quadratic because the first term has a coeffecient of 1. therefore we know...

• To help us to see what we need to do in this question, I would always line the equations up one above the other, and label them (1) and (2). Here we'll say that (1) is 3x + 7y =18 and (2) is x+ 2y =...

x+24-24=15-24

x=15-24=-9

• First we'll figure out what the numbers in the co-ordinates mean. On the point (7,12) x= 7 and y=12. - The equation of the line is in the form of y=mx + c so for the point to be on the line, the y v...

x²+4x+3=0 The first step is to factorise. To do this you need to find a pair of factors of 3 that add together to make 4. I recommend listing the factors of 3 to start with. Don't forget the ne...
