Bring the x terms onto one side of the equation, and the numbers onto the other, rearranging to get 4x=8divide both sides by 4 to get x=2check answer by subbing x=2 into the equation, such that -11=-11

Simultaneous equations are two equations with two unknowns. And they can be solved by either elimination or substitution method.For this example, we will use the elimination method. First of all to make i...

Differentiation is how to find the gradient of a line. For example, the line y = 3x has a gradient of 3. Similarly, y = 4x + 2 has a gradient of 4. However, for most lines, the gradient isn't the same alo...

Any quadratic equation, that is, an equation of the form ax²+bx+c=0, can be factorised, which means it is broken down into its linear factors. This means it wi...

Simplifying a surd means to express it using smaller numbers, making it easier to use in calculations. There are a couple of facts you will need to learn about surds, these are, 1) sqrt(a x b) = s...
