To solve an algebraic equation you need to rearrange it into the format x=? To do this there are a few rules and few steps R ules: whatever you add or subtract to one side you must also do to the other side ...

Firstly, begin by multiplying both sides of the equation by (x-2) and (x+3), this gives 6(x+3)-2(x-2)=(x+3)(x-2). Expand out the brackets on each side of the equation to give 6x+18-2x+4=x 2 -2x+3x-6. Next, e...

(1) x 2 + 15x + 56 = 0 56 = 1 x 56, 2 x 26, 4 x 14, 7 x 8 7 + 8 = 15 Hence, factorised equation is (x + 7)(x + 8) = 0

First we have 0.03 x 10.1, multiply without decimal points: 3 x 101 = 303 Since there are 2 decimal places 0.03 and 10.1 has 1 decimal place the answer will have 3 decimal places : 0.03 x 10.1 = 0.303

First we add up all the 'x' terms. So the equation 7 - 4x = x + 8 becomes 7 - 4x - x = x +8 - x => 7 - 5x = 8. Now we can do the same with the other terms. The equation now becomes 7 - 5x - 7 = 8 - 7 =&gt...
