Solve the simultaneous equations: 5x+5y = 6 7x+3y = 6

Label the equations 1) 5x+5y = 6 and 2) 7x+3y = 6 . Then rearrange equation 1 to make x the subject of the equation: 5x = 6-5y. You would then simplify this equation to find the equation for x: x = 6/5 - y. ...

How is the factor theorem used?

The factor theorem is used to determine factors of large polynomials so that we can split large polynomials into a product of linear polynomials. Say we have a cubic polynomial of the form f(x)=x^3+bx^2+cx+d...

Solve 4x/(x+1) - 3/(2x+1) = 1

Firstly multiply through by (x+1)(2x+1) to get rid of the fractions and then expand the brackets. Then gather the terms on one side to get a quadratic equation (ie 3x^2 - x -2=0) and then simply solve this e...
