Example 5x + 2 3x³ + 2x² - 5x + 7 7x³ 4x² - 3x + 2 7x³ - 4x² + 5x + 6 2x³ 5x 3ac + 2ac = 5ac 2ab + 5ac a = 3b - 4c 3x + 6 2x + 5 = 6x - 2 3x - 9 = 3 (x - 3) 2 x 5 = 10 6, 21 = 42 (x + 2)(x + 3) = x² + 5x + 6 27,12 = 3 5-2=3 3 + 4 = 12 5 x 4 = 12 2+6=1+2 4923 1 Factorise The decomposition of an object into a product of other object. Evaluate It is to calculate the value of something. Discriminant b² - 4ac x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3) If I have to distribute 6 books to 3 boys, so each boy would have 2 books. x = - 3 ±â 9-4x2x7 4 Constant Variable Simultaneous equation A number that is significantly 10 - 4x = 8 interesting in some way.
