In these simultaneous equations, there are two unknowns. The first is x, the second is y. The aim of a question like this is to find what x and y are equal too. A method to doing this is to rewrite one equat...

length x width = area (as rectangle) (x-4)(x-5)=12 x 2 -9x+20=12 x 2 -9x+8=0 (x-8)(x-1)=0 x=8 or x=1 <---- x can't be 1 as we would get negative length and width x=8

Firstly, as it's highest term is x 2 , it must only have two factor brackets, so the answer has to look like (x + a) * (x + b).Then, to make 6x, we need the a and b term to be either 5 and 1, 4 and 2, or 3 a...

Two lines are parallel when they have the same gradient. When the equation is written in the form: y = mx + c, m is the gradient. We need to arrange our equations in the form y = mx + c as this is the easies...

Firstly we need to make sure we understand the question and do this by defining the key elements: Prime number: A number that can only be divided by itself and 1 to give a whole number, i.e. 3, 7, 11 Factor:...
