Solving a pair of simultaneous equations should ALWAYS begin in labelling each equation. I would go about labelling the first equation (1) and the second (2). A quadratic simulataneous equation question i...

First we must think about the fraction on the left hand side - we have to multiply everything by x-1 in order to get rid of the fraction. This leaves us with 3x+2+3(x-1)=4(x-1). Then, we must expand the b...

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...
