Firstly expand the brackets due to BIDMAS.6x-10=7Now we want to have x on its own side, so add 10 to both sides.6x=17Finally we want to solve to find x, so divide both sides by 6.x=17/6

We should start by looking for the highest common factor of the 2 numbers involved in the equation (3&12)If you cannot do this immediately in your head, create a factor tree or list the factors3: 312: 2,...

First we need to find a value for x in terms of y , this can be done by rearranging the second equation y - x = 3 to give x = y - 3. This equation is then substituted into the first equation so that everythi...

We start off by finding the first derivative of equation f(x) = ax 3 + bx 2 - 3: f'(x) = 3ax 2 + 2bx. We now take the second derivative of equation f, because we have been told that f"(-2) = 0: f"(...

We need to find a value of x to sub into equation 1, so add y to both sides of equation 2: x = 6 + y. Then sub this into the x value of equation 1 and solve to find y: 2(6 + y) + y = 18. 12 + 2y + y = 18. 3y...
