Here we have a pair of simultaneous equations with two unknowns. There are two methods of going about this question: substitution or elimination. Today, we shall be focusing on the latter. We need a pair...

When we are asked to solve a quadratic, we can use the formula, but we are here specifically asked to use factorisation.

First of all, we need to know the format of factorisation: usually, it's (x+...

In order to solve this question, I am going to use the FOIL (first, outer, inner, last) method of expanding brackets. First we need to multiply the two first elements in each bracket together - in this ca...

Question has two figures: a trapezium with angles 60, 2x, 3x,x and two lines AB and CD with a line across them forming conjugate angle sets with the two labelled angles 120 and x not part of the same pair...

As both equations have y on the left hand side we can put the right hand sides equal to each other, so 2x=x+3. We can then subtract x from both sides. This gives 2x-x on the left hand side which is x, and...
