First, the denominator of the fraction is 2, so all the terms on both sides of the = have to be multiplied by 2: 4x - 6 = 1 Then you can simplify this by adding 6 to both sides: 4x = 7 And then divide bot...

2(3a + 5) :

First you have to multiply everything inside the bracket by the number outside the bracket: = 2 x 3a + 2 x 5 or = (2 x 3a) + (2 x 5)

This can then be simplified to give the answe...

Take the example: 'The price of a TV is reduced to 69% and is now £379.50. Find the original price. (This means find the price when it was at 100%.) Let's start by calling each percentage a 'part'. The ne...

Take the example f(x)=(2x^2+1)/(3x+5) , where we're finding the gradient at x=0. First, you need to differentiate f(x) to get f'(x). Because f(x) is a fraction where both the numerator and denominator are...

Firstly you have to find the turning points of the graph. This is done by differentiating the equation of the line. Once you have found this first derivative, equate the equation to zero. Now solve the eq...
