The expression is of the form ax^2 + bx + c. Here, a = 1 and this makes it easier for us. We can also see that b = 5 and c = 6. In general, we have to find two numbers that multiply to get c and add to ge...

To answer this question you need to group the different terms to form the shortest equation possible. It is easiest to treat the x terms and the y term as seperate, so you have:

2x - x      and    ...

The question is asking you to isolate, or find out what 'x' is in relation to the equation. Don't be confused by the less than sign '<'. Treat it like an equals sign '='. 3x - 5 =16.

So let's ge...

The first step is to expand the brackets on the left hand side, you can either use the arrow method or the box method for this. This gives you: 6x + 24 = 2x - 4

Then you want to gather all the x's ...

First, we have to know that if 2 lines are perpendicular, the product of their gradients is -1.

Next, we have to express the 2 equations in similar ways by rearranging them and making y the common ...
