Solve x²- 4x - 5 = 0
A very full explanation would be:
Start by listing the pairs of numbers that can be multiplied together to get 1 * -5 = -5 (i.e. the coefficient of the first ter...

For this question, as it is worth six marks, I would expect the student to provide three well backed-up points with substantial evidence to obtain all the marks available. They may provide both short-term...

Simultaneous equations:
x=y+1 y=2x+3
First solve for x. y=2x+3 so first equation becomes: x=(2x+3)+1 x-2x-3-1=0 -1x-4=0x+4=0 x=-4
Solve for y: y=2x+3 y=2(-4)+3 y=-8+3y=-5

There are three methods for solving simultaneous equations: elimination, substitution and by using graphs.Elimination is a good method in this case as the y terms are equal in both equations. We just add ...
