First we need to look at the important information and draw a diagram (on whiteboard).

Now, we know that the area of the rectangle is 48cm2 and that the area of any rectangle is:

length side...

There are several ways to factorise this quadratic expression, but the best way in my opinon is:

1. Take the constant in front of the x^2 and multiply it by the standalone constant (i.e. mul...

Lets first give the equations names.

4x+y=25 (A)

x-3y=16 (B)

We want to get the equations so that they have either the same number of x's or same number of y's. So let's multiply equa...

We know that the equation of the area of a rectangle is width times by length. Therefore:

8=(3x+1)(2x+5)

If we multiply out the brackets we get:

8=(6x²+2x+15x+5), thus, 8=6...
