There are 12 counters in a bag. There is an equal number of red counters, yellow counters and blue counters in the bag. There are no other counters in the bag. 3 counters are taken from the bag. Work out the probability of taking 3 red counters.

If there are 12 counters in a bag,each with colour either red, yellow or blue, we can say that the number of red counters, blue counters and yellow counters must add up to 12.R + B + Y = 12 ( R = No. of R...

Factorise 12x^2 - 20x + 3

We know our answer is going to look like this: (ax + b)(cx + d).
First we can split our original equation in order to make it easy to simplify. As we know that 12 multiplied by 3 is equal to 36 we c...

A family go into a shop, they buy three sandwiches and two packets of crisps. It costs them £9. Another family buy five sandwiches and six packets of crisps. It costs them £19. How much does two sandwiches and five packets of crisps cost?

We will call sandwiches S and packets of crisps C. These are the 'unknowns'. From the information we can write down two equations. Equation 1: 3S + 2C = 9 and Equation 2: 5S + 6C = 19. We need two equatio...

Line A is parallel to the line 4y+12x=24. Find the equation of Line A if it passes through the point (5,40/3).

Line A and line 4y+12x+24 are parallel. This means that they have the same gradient. In y=mx+c the gradient of the line is m. We can rearrange the equation 4y+12x+24 to find m. To begin with subtract 12x...
