Like all equations, you're going to start off by getting all the x's on the same side of the = side and all the rest on the other side. So we start off with 7x-14=4x+7. Moving the x's to one side means th...

This question is asking us to place a number in the place of their corresponding letter, so as the letter a is attached to the number two, whenever we see the letter a in the equation we would replace it ...

The easiest way to solve a simultaneous equation is by the method of substitution. First of all, we take the first equation, and rearrange it so that it is in terms of y. Or, in other words, rearrange it ...

Expand the brackets:

(3z + 18) - (8z + 2)

Simplify:

16 - 5z

Times both side by r to get ar+3r=2a+7 Subtract 2a and 3r from both side to bring a to one side, ar-2a=7-3r Factorise the left handside, a(r-2)=7-3r Divide both side by r-2, a=(7-3r)/(r-2)
