I would do y= x/ 2x-5
y(2x - 5)= x I just multiplied the (2x - 5) to get rid of the fraction.
2xy-5y=x I expanded the brackets
2xy- x = 5y added the 5y and subtracted the x
the answer would then be 5y/ 2y -1 but you have to change the ys to xs as it is an inverse function
Hopefully you understand it?


Thankx x
You're lucky you have a gap in between - I have geography straight after maths and then I have a small gap before history.

Some people will find it really easy; others will find it hard, depending on the questions and how they're feeling. Also, if it's easier, the grade boundaries will be higher :frown:

I'm doing past papers, as well as going over a booklet I made of questions I got wrong from other past papers.

3x + 6x + 4x = 13x
(6/13)x - (4/13)x = 15
(2/13)x = 15
(1/13)x = 7.5
(3/13)x = (1/13)x * 3 = 7.5 * 3 = 22.5

How do you remember sets?

Just learn the symbols. There's no easy way. The symbols are generally fairly logical (e.g. the 'union' symbol looks like a 'U'), and I think they come up again at A-Level (but don't quote me on that!)

Good luck :smile:

Maybe Simulataneous Quadratics , Functions , Sets and many more.
It's is quite hard to predict tbh

Tomorrow, we should all come together and figure all the stuff that *didn't come up*. If it's a big topic, it could come up next Tuesday!

Good luck everyone :biggrin:

This is what I noticed wasn't there:
- Calculus
- Transformations
- Similar shapes
- Simultaneous equations
- Angle facts
- Cosine rule
- Bearings

what did you guys find for the vector question??????
I said relation between PM and MC was 1:3, so MC is a multiple of PM, so the lines are on a straight line.
