Common mistake
Algebraic modelling common mistake 1
Writing a final answer without showing the method that justifies it. This can weaken answers for: [Foundation and Higher] Derive equations, solve them and interpret the solutions in context..
Show the method first, then give the final answer in the required form. Apply this directly to Algebraic modelling.
