To solve this equation we need to make it so the x's or the y's of each equation are equal. To do this we need to multiply one or both equations so we can take or add one of the equations to the other. We...

I'd start by drawing out any rectangle with an area of 20cm^2 and labelling the length and width. Any correct combination will do (i.e. 2 X 10, 4 X 5, 20 X 1 etc.). In this example, I will use 4 X 5 Then ...

There are two ways to solve this equation. In the first method, we can simplify the quadratic by observation into two linear equations multiplied together, giving us (2x + 1)(x + 1) = 0. We can then set e...
