Once we are told the value for one of the letters, the equation becomes quite easy to work out.

In this 11+ tuition video Hugo explains the principles of ‘Substitute, Collect, Operate’ as steps to solving algebraic equations.

All numbers can be divided by themselves and 1, but if a number can’t be divided by any other numbers then that means they are a prime number. Simple!
