After the initiative taken by Math_angel in the IGCSE section, I have made this topic for students of O'levels. You can post any question or any problem here and me along with other XPF users will try to help you as soon as possible. This topic is a feasible option as it won't bring a hassle of making new topics for every question and it will also allow the helpers to not miss any of your questions and have one common topic for answering your Mathematics queries.

So start posting your problems. :)
Hey... Please help me out!
I'm confused because of two questions.
Q: A bus travels at 36km/h and arrives at its destination half an hour late. If it travels at 42km/h, it arrives at the same destination half an hour earlier. Find the journey's distance.
The below question is about simultaneous equation.
Q: If A gives B $3, B will have twice as much as A. If B gives A $5, A will have as much as B. How much does everyone have?

Q1)
D=D
36(x+0.5) = 42(x-0.5)
36x + 18 = 42x - 21
18+21 = 42x - 36x
39= 6x
x=6.5 hrs :D

now for finding the distance use any one side of the equation
D= 36(6.5) + 18
D= 234+18
D=252 km !

Will solve Q2 later :D

determinant of A = 7(might be wrong ;) )
you dont switch the values of B cuz you use A to find A-1 and then you solve it as B = A-1

A X C
(1 -3)(X) = (-1 0)
(3 -2) (Y) (0 1)
solve this

well A (iv) is a transformation..so its a 90* A-Clockwise Rotation on the Origin...let me know where i am wrong..its been two months i have not touched Maths!! (y)
