Recall

Retrieve the key fact or method needed for cumulative checkpoint 7 and feedback.

Core practice

A line y=2x−3 and a quadratic y=x²−4x+1 intersect. Form the equation for their x-coordinates.

Reasoning

Why is substituting a found root back into the original equations stronger than repeating the same algebra?

What Went Well (WWW)

I used my working and assessment evidence to identify the exact mathematical step that was secure and the specific misconception that needs attention.

Even Better If (EBI)

I will correct one precise step, explain why the correction works and complete a fresh delayed question without the original scaffold.

Stretch and deep challenge

Stretch: A line y=2x−3 and a quadratic y=x²−4x+1 intersect. Form the equation for their x-coordinates.

Deep challenge: Why is substituting a found root back into the original equations stronger than repeating the same algebra?
