Maybe we will get it right as there could be multiple answers. I hope so anyway!!:redface:


Did you work it out by doing simultaneous equations?

No, I just added all of the angles up and then took away from both sides. I then just selected two numbers which fits (2x+y=44) so therefore x=11 and y=22. It's probably not the best solution to work it out but I proved that it was right by slotting it back into the angles.

I have a feeling I've read on a mark scheme before they tend to only give half marks for trial and error methods, but if its an answer theyll accept it. I remember getting something different and what this guy said on the thread!

How did u work out the bread loafs one

I used an equation.

There were six times more white than granary.

Therefore w = 6g

There were half as many brown as white

Therefore b = 3g

But he also made granary loaves so in total there were

6g + 3g + g = 10g

He made 130 loaves so

10g = 130
g = 13

He made 13 granary loaves, so w = 6g = 78 white loaves, and b = 3g = 39 brown loaves.
Would i get any marks for the completing the square question if i got the correct answers, but i used another method?
What do you reckon the grade boundaries will be guys for maths higher
Yes

For the probability one that's 2/15, does it have to be cancelled down or will 12/90 get me the marks?

You should be fine with that answer.
I got a different answer for question24, are you sure your answer is correct?
hi
i got x=60 and y=8
because the question was like 2x+y=128 and 5x+y=100 so its basically simultaneous
Got a question.....A baker makes 130 loaves so that there are 6 times as many as white loaves as granary loaveshalf as many brown loaves as white loaves. How many of each type does he make? White........Brown........Granary.........
