Question: Solve the following equation: Answer: 5(2-9x) = 4(15-4x) (by cross multiplication) 10-45 x= 60-16x -45x+16x=60-10 -29x=50 ..

If all the terms of the polynomial have a common factor, we take out the common factor and factorise . If all the terms of the polynomial have a common factor, we take out the common factor and factorise . If the polynomial can be expressed as the difference of two squares, we use a 2 - b 2..

x 2 + 8x + 15 = x 2 + 5x + 3x + 15 (after noticing that 5 + 3 = 8 and 5 3 = 15) = x(x +5) + 3(x + 5) = (x + 5) (x + 3) Resolve into factors: x 2 - 15x + 56 x 2 - 15x + 56 Take factors of 56 having their sum = -15 They are -8, -7. \ x 2 - 15x + 56 = x 2 - 7x - 8x + 56 \ x 2 - 15x +..

We use alphabets like x, y, z etc., to denote variables. For example the length of a rectangle is denoted by 'l'. It takes different values in different rectangles. A formula is a relation between different variables formed using mathematical symbols. Any given condition can be translated into a ..
