While this question may appear unfamiliar at first, it is just a quadratic equation in disguise. Rearranging such that it equals 0:

x^2 + 5x - 36 = 0

Now this equation is re...

At first this looks quite daunting as it combines a number of different indices (powers) and a fraction. 

The rules for indices are just something that you have to learn - so don't worry ...

It is first important to get the equation to equal 0, so to do this you minus 12 from each side of the equals symbol, giving youX^2 +13X+36=0Now it is time to think about factorising!The best trick for th...

The way that papers are set is that you usually can allow just over a minute for each mark. This means if a question is 6 marks, it should take about 6 minutes to answer. It is generally a good idea to be...

there are a few main ways to solve simultaneous equations: find an equal like term. In this case y and add or subtract the two equations together to isolate one of x or y. 

Another way of...
