We label each equation 3x + 4y = 5 (1) 2x – 3y = 9 (2) We now want to get rid of one of the variables (x or y). Lets get rid of x: We need (1) and (2) to have the same number of x's so we multiple (1) by 2 a...

Take the sequence; 9, 12, 19, 30, ... (1) The first step is always to look at difference between the terms; 9, 12, 19, 30, ... +3, +7, +11, ... +4, +4, ... We can see the difference is not constant, (2) so w...

My favourite way to remember whether my answer is positive or negative when I multiply two numbers is to think of the following: a) If you multiply two numbers with the SAME sign (i.e. two positive numbers o...

(2 + 3^0.5 )^2 - (2 - 3^0.5 )^2 Firstly we will start by seperating the 2 brackets. This will give us 1 : (2+ 3^0.5 )^2 2 : (2 - 3^0.5 )^2 We will start by expanding our brackets. To do this we use the rule;...
