Each answer you find is used inside the next question. Work through the full chain carefully – if you get one wrong, it affects the rest!

Your Workings For Chain Reaction

1) Solve: 3x – 6 = 15

A =

2) Use your answer from Q1 as “a”. Now solve: a – x = 1

B =

3) Use your answer from Q2 as “b”. Now expand and simplify: (x + 6)(x + b) – what is the coefficient of x?

C =

4) Use your answer from Q3 as “c”. Now solve: (x + c)/3 = 7

D =

5) Use your answer from Q4 as “d”. Now factorise: x² – (d)x + 20

E =

Accuracy routine: treat each step like it must be “locked in” before the next one.

  • Solve the step.
  • Label the result clearly (a, b, c…).
  • Do one quick check (re-simplify or substitute back).
  • Only then move on.

Finish: if the final step asks for a form (e.g. factorised), make sure you present it exactly as requested.
