Step 1: Write 125 as an exponent. Is there any number you can multiply by itself a few times to give you 125? The answer is 5 because 5 x 5 x 5= 5 x 25 = 125. Step 2: Since we know that 125=5^3, we can r...

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...
