Welcome to the Aslam Way - making maths simple 

Original value = £2000 = 100%
Interest is 3%, so new percentage value is 100% + 3% = 103% 
Change to decimal 
103/100 = 1.03 (this is your multiplier) 
For 5 years 
1.03^5 
So £2000 x 1.03^5 
= £2,318.5481486
Money is rounded to 2dp 
Final answer= £2318.55

Maths

If £2000 is placed into a bank account that pays 3% compound interest per year, how much will be in the account after 5 years?

First term means n = 1, so substitute this value. 
2n = 2 x 1 = 2 
-7                 -7 
Answer = -5

2n-7 first term

Welcome to The Aslam Way - Make Math Simple! 

Sequence: 7,  10,  13,   16
    Pattern: +3.   +3.  +3
 This means 3 times table or 3n
              3n: 3,   6,   9,     12
Difference:+4 +4    +4    +4 

So nth term = 3n + 4 

Alternatively you can see there is a +3 jump so first part of nth term is 3n. Then take 3 away from first term (7-3) and get +4 so add to end of nth term 
Final answer: 3n + 4 

What's the nth term for 7,10,13,16?

So you need to get x on its own. 
The way to do is to inverse operation the +v (one step) 
v + x = w
  -v        -v 

Final answer : x = w-v

Make x the subject v+x=w

Calculator method 
100% value = 100 000
Percentage increase = 10%
So 100 + 10 = 110% 
Change to decimal 
110% = 1.1 
2014 to 2018 is a 4 year period
So take your 100% value and multiply it by your 1.1 for each year so: 
100 000 x 1.1^4 = 146 410 

Non calculator method 
Year 1: 10% of 100 000 = 10 000
100 000 + 10 000 = 110 000
Year 2: 10% of 110 000 = 11 000
110 000 + 11 000 = 121 000
Year 3: 10% of 121 000 = 12 100
121 000 + 12 100 = 133 100
Year 4: 

At the start of 2014 Tim's house was worth £ 100 000 The value of the house increased by 10% every year. Work out the value of his house at the start of 2018.

Let’s do it the Aslam Way - make maths simple 
Prime factors means prime numbers 
Let’s list the first 5 prime numbers 
2, 3, 5, 7, 11 
9 is not a prime number because it belongs to the 3 times tables as well as itself and 1. 
Now 24 —> 2 x 12 
2 is lowest prime so leave that, focus on 12 
24 —> 2 x 12 —> 2 x 2 x 6 
Leave the 2’s focus on the 6 
24 —> 2 x 12 —> 2 x 2 x 6 —> 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 
Now they are all prime
Final Answer: 
24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 2^3 x 3 

Express as a product of Prime factor 24

Welcome to the Aslam Way, making math simple :-) 
Let’s turn this sequence into an equation 
3n + 2 = 602 
Now if when I solve this I get a whole number answer then yes it is in the sequence. Let’s solve it. 
3n + 2 = 602 (-2) 
3n = 600 (divide 3) 
n = 200 
It is a whole number. 
Final answer = Yes 602 is in the sequence. 

Is 602 in the sequence 3n+2

First how many quarters are there in 1 ? Answer: 4 
You need 5 of them 
So 4 x 5 = 20 
Final Answer= 20 

How many quarters are there in 5

Multiplying ain’t so bad, all you got to do is add. (So add powers with same base) 
8+3+4 = 15 so top answer is 7^15 
9+5 = 14 so bottom answer is 7^14 

New calculation is 7^15/7^14 

Dividing is one simple fact, just subtract. (So subtract powers with same base) 
15 -14 = 1 
So it is 7^1 (anything with power one is just itself) 
Final answer = 7 


Simplify 7^8x7^3x7^4/7^9x7^5

The first means that n=1 
Do 2n first : 2 x 1 = 2 
Then -7 : 2-7 (subtractor is bigger than first number so it will negative answer) = 5
