This workbook covers the forming and solving of simultaneous equations in two and three variables in a variety of theoretical and practical contexts. Appropriate methods are selected and used in order to form equations and solve problems, with solutions interpreted in context. Lines and planes are used to represent sets of equations, and the relationships between these geometrical representations are communicated and interpreted.
The concise notes and write-on exercises keep student work together in a compact format, providing a useful end-of-topic revision tool.
