For all simultaneous equations it is useful to number each one to keep your working clear and concise. In order to solve this we need to eliminate one of the variables (x or y) by manipulating the equatio...

5x + 3y = 27 (1)6x - 2y = 10 (2)Rearrange (1) to make x the subject.Subtracting - 3y from both sides gives5x = 27 - 3yDivide both sides by 5 givesx = (27 - 3y)/5Substitute (1) into (2) gives6(27 - 3y)/5 -...

For this question you can use a method called the foil method. The F stands for first therefore you times the 2 variables that are first in each bracket. 2x times x which gives you 2x^2. The O stands for ...

We can use trigonometry to answer this question using the following steps: Sketch the question out Label the right angled triangle correctly (using information in the question)Identify the correct equatio...

Step 1: Times out the brackets 12x + 8 = 12 -5x
Step 2: Gather all 'x' values on one side and all non-'x' values on the other (12x + 5x = 12 - 8) -> 17x = 4
Step 3: Divide by the number next ...
