Route 1 (Standard): 1. 3x + y = -4 / 2. 3x - 4y = 6 / MINUS 2 FROM 1 / y - (-4y) = 5y / -4 - 6 = - 10 / 5y = - 10 / y = -2 /PUT y-VALUE BACK INTO ORIGINAL EQ  / 3x - 2 = -4 / 3x = ...

When solving equations like this, the most important thing to remember is that you must do the same thing to both sides. First multiply out the brackets, multiplying the x and the 4 by 2, giving 2x+8=x+10...

First explain that to 'solve' means to find the value for 'x'. Then, using the rule of BIDMAS, explain that in order to simplify the process, the first step is to open up the brackets on the left hand sid...

Create a smiling face with arrows between the terms and then go through and multiply the terms together.(Diagram of the smiling face)(x+4)(2x-3) = 2x² - 12 - 3x + 8x = 2x² + 5x - 12T...
