Be careful to note what a GCSE question is asking. If it states ‘solve algebraically’ then you must do so. To find solutions from graphs, look for the point where the two graphs cross one another.
Before starting this guide, it may be helpful to read the guide from M1 on coordinates and graphs. To solve the equations graphically, the two lines 𝒚 = 𝒙 + 1 and 𝒚 = 2𝒙 - 1 are drawn on the same ...
Algebra can be demystified with the right approach. Transforming word problems into mathematical expressions is crucial, alongside using formula sheets and colour-coding equations for clarity.
