An equation is a mathematical expression that contains an equals symbol. Equations often contain algebra. Algebra is used in Maths when we do not know the exact number in a calculation - this unknown ...

\({\log _a}a = 1\) (since \({a^1} = a\)) so \({\log _7}7 = 1\) \({\log _a}1 = 0\) (since \({a^0} = 1\)) so \({\log _{20}}1 = 0\) \({\log _a}p + {\log _a}q = {\log _a ...

This jingle has helped generations of algebra students recall the quadratic formula that solves every equation of the form $latex ax^2+bx+c=0$. The formula is as ...

Equations that have more than one unknown can have an infinite number of solutions. For example, \(2x + y = 10\) could be solved by: \(x = 1\) and \(y = 8\) \(x = 2\) and \(y = 6\) \(x = 3\) and \(y = ...

Make sure you are confident in solving one and two-step linear equations and expanding brackets in order to tackle these more complex types of equations. Substitute close substituteIn algebra, to ...

Look at the National 4 factorising section before continuing. When a question asks you to 'solve' a quadratic equation, this means that you are to find the roots of the quadratic. In other words, ...
