Expand and simplify (5x – 2y)(3x – 4y)

In this question, we are asked to 'expand' out the brackets. What this means is we need each term in one set of brackets (5x and -2...

Let's use an example.

x+y=6

2x+3y=14

Find the values of x and y.

When I was kid back then, I was always wondering why are equations important? We...

The Pythagoras Theorem equation is:

a² + b² = c²

^{It is used to calculate an unknown side of a right angled triangle. a, b and c represe...}

To simplify an equation the x terms can be collected together to give: 4x + 5x - 2x = 7x

The numbers can be collected together to give: -2 + 7 = 5

Which then when put togeth...

Students took to Twitter to moan about how difficult the question was.

I agree, there is something inherently comic about the question, since you start off talking about Hannah and sweets...
