This is a simultanious equation. As there are two unknown variables, it is impossible to find both a and b just using one of the equations. To make it possible to work out the unknowns, we need to have...

We can solve simultaneous equations in two different ways. We can either eliminate one of the unknowns or use substitution. It is about finding which method you are most comfortable with and practicing th...

This is a quick derivation of the quadratic formula for an GCSE Maths students looking to stretch themselves a little and go for that A*!

If we have a general quadratic equation:

It is important to remember this is an estimate, so we can simplify the numbers by saying they get 20% off and the drill costs £90. (1)

10% off would be £9, so 20% off is £18. (1)<...

Expanding something out like (x+2)(x+3) crops up everywhere in maths. Therefore it's a very important skill to develop.There are many different ways of looking at it - smily faces, rainbows, claws - to na...
