Step 1: Multiply both sides by x to obtain xy = 3x + 5. Step 2: Place all the 'x' terms on the same side of the equation to obtain xy-3x=5 Step 3: Factor out x from the left side of the equation: x (y-3) ...

The objective of this question is to solve for x and y. Since we cannot directly eliminate x or y, find the lowest common multiple for x in both equations by comparing 2x in equation 1 with 6x in equation...

First of all remember to never be intimidated by a question. Don't read a question and say "I don't know," start with what you do know. In this case we know that every year the £12,00 initial va...

I like to address this question by using similar fractions. That is to say x/y=2x/2y X over y is the same as 2x over 2y In this example we are asked what the full price of the dress is, as in what 100% of...

General rule for any right angled triangle: a^2+b^2=c^2, with a and b being the shorter sides and c being the hypotenuse (the longest side). Using the equation: a=7 and b = 11 and c=hypotenuse we want to ...
