rationalise the denominator (remove the surds) by multiplying by a fraction = 1, known as the rationalising factor = (24 - √ 300)/(4√ 3 - 5) * (4√ 3 + 5)/(4√ 3 + 5) = (24 - √ 300)(4√ 3 + 5)/(48 - 25) = (2...

x = 6 + y
2(6+y) + y = 18
12+2y+y = 18
3y = 18-12
3y=6
y = 6/3 = 2. So y = 2 if y = 2 then x is = ?
x - y = 6 so, x-2 = 6
so x is 6+ 2 = 8
x = 8 and y = 2<...

To make a percentage into a fraction you divide it by 100. This means 12.5% is 12.5/100. However, when giving fractions as an answer it needs to be done in the simplest form. To do this you need to find t...

so the first step would be to deal with the minus in the indice, which gives you the reciprocal making it1/49^(3/2)you then approach the rest of the indice which is 3/2, the simplest way to do this is to ...
