To solve this question we first need to multiply the top part of the two fractions together to get the top part of the answer: 7×3=21. Then we need to multiply the bottom part of the two fractions togethe...

2x-5=3x+4 Firstly, you move the +4 to the other side (-5-4=-9). The equation should now look like: 2x-9=3x. You then move the 2x to the other side (3x-2x=x) so your answer would be x=-9

Firstly, we want to start off by calculating how many litres of diesel the lorry uses when it drives for 200 miles. We know that with 1 litre of diesel, the lorry can drive for 35 miles. Knowing this, we ...

Simultaneous equations can be solved either using substitution or elimination.
For this example we will use substitution to work out the answer, which will involve rearranging one of the equations (...

There are two ways to solve simultaneous equations, by substitution or by addition/subtraction. The simplest solution in this case is a method of substitution:
Rearrange the simplest equation to get ...
