First of all, the best thing to do is to split the question into its different components:

5 x q^2 x p^12 / 10 (q x p^3)^2

Next we want to get rid of the brackets. With indices there are sev...

So, to solve this we want to isolate the x's on one side of the equation. We do this by subtracting 5 from both sides to give 2x=4. Then, we want to obtain a single x on one side of the equation. To do th...

There are different ways of solving quadratic equations but this one asks for you to solve by factorisation. This is where you take the equation on the left hand side and rewrite it into brackets - two bi...

For example, 7/10 is the same as 0.7 and 70%. Percentages are actually all fractions out of 100. 70% is 70/100, 50% is 50/100, etc. When these are written as fractions they should be simplified so the den...

Imagine there's a cake, and you wanted to share that cake evenly between three people. You would cut the cake into three pieces and each person would get a piece. Now, imagine you had another cake and sti...
