cos$\theta$ = $\frac{a}{b}$, Sin$\theta$ = $\sqrt{\frac{b^2-a^2}{a}}$
Tan$\theta$ = $\sqrt{\frac{b^2-a^2}{a^2}}$, Tan 2 = $\sqrt{\frac{b^2-a^2}{a^2}}$
1 + tan2$\theta$ = 1 + $\frac{b^2-a^2}{a^2}$
= $\frac{a^2+b^2-a^2}{a^2}$
= $\frac{b^2}{a^2}$

3x2 + 6x - 2 = 0
Using almighty formula i.e. x = $\frac{b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
a = 3, b = 6, c = -2
x = $\frac{-6\pm \sqrt{6^2-4\left(3\right)(-2)}}{2\left(3\right)}$
x = $\frac{6\pm \sqrt{36-24}}{6}$
x = $\frac{6\pm \sqrt{60}}{6}$
x = $\frac{-6\pm \sqrt{4\times 15}}{6}$
x = $\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{15}}{3}$

Let x represent Musa's total mark when he scores 57 in biology and Let Y represent Musa's total mark when he now scored 75 in biology, if he scored 75 in biology his new total mark will be $\frac{Y}{4}$ = 60, y = 4 x 60 = 240
To get his total mark when he scored 57, subtract 57 from 75 to give 18, then subtract this 18 from the new total mark(ie. 240)
= 240 - 18
= 222

5(x + 2y) = 5

x + 3y = 2 .....(ii)
x + 2y = 1.....(i)
x + 3y = 2......(ii)
y = 1
Substitute y = 1 into equation (i) = x + 2y = 1
∴ x + 2(1) = 1
x + 2 = 1
∴ x = 1
∴ 3x + y = 3-1 + 1

Let x = the number of oranges
The 1st received 1/3 of x = 1/3x
∴Remainder = x - 1/3x = 2x/3
The 2nd received 2/3 of 2x/3 = 2/3 * 2x/3 = 4x/3
The 3rd received 12 oranges
∴1/3x + 4x/9 + 12 = x
(3x + 4x + 108)/9 = x
3x + 4x + 108 = 9x
7x + 108 = 9x
9x - 7x = 108
2x = 108
x = 54 oranges

Given $△$ isosceles PQ = QT, SRQ = 35${}^{\circ }$
