Solve 56x + 10 = 60 - 48x

The question is asking us to "solve" the equation which means we need to find the missing variable. In this case, x is our missing variable so our goal is to get all the x's on the same side of the...

Without expanding any brackets, work out the solutions of 9(x+3)^2 = 4

To solve for x first divide both sides by 9, giving the equation:(x+3) 2 = 4/9Then square root both sides, leading to:x+3 = +/- 2/3Finally subtract 3 from both sides leaving:x = -11/3 or x = -7/3

Solve the simultaneous equations: 3x + y =11; 2x + y = 8

subtract one from the other to eliminate y: 3x+y=11; 2x+y=8 --> x=3 substitute value of x back in and solve for y : 3(3)+y=11; 9+y=11; --> y=2

(a) Expand and simplify (x − 3)(x + 5), ..2 marks.. (b) Solve x^2 + 8x − 9 = 0 ..3 marks..

(a) Remember: Multiply each term in the left bracket by every term in the right bracket.(x-3)(x+5) = x 2 + 5x - 3x -15.Collecting all of the like terms:= x 2 + 2x -15. (b) Solve x 2 + 8x − 9 = 0Remember to p...

Solve the simultaneous equations: x+y =2; x^2 + 2y = 12

The first thing to note about this question is that it's a simultaneous equations question, involving a quadratic. We will have to use substution in order to solve it. So first of all we need to chose which ...
