First we realize that the question asks IF there is a solutionLet us start with the simplest equations, x+y=3 and 2x+y=5By subtracting the first equation from the second we see x=2 and subbing into x+y=3 ...

First of all, as with every question, we need to write down the information we have. so we know that y is 20% bigger than x meaning y=1.2x. this is because to increase x by 20% you need to multiply by 1.2...

For a linear sequence use DNA! This is a formula that can be used to work out the nth term. It is officially written as Dn+alets take an example: 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23The "D" stands for the diffe...

Dividing fractions looks hard but is a lot easier than you think! Let's take two fractions: 1/4 and 3/8. If you are asked to divide 1/4 by 3/8 the easiest way to do this is to flip the 3/8 round to give 8...

First we substitute one x or y into the other equation. The easiest one to put in in this case would be the y in equation (2). So putting the y into (1) you get x^2 + (2x-3)^2=41. Then we expand out the b...
