Here is a sample math question typical of NECO examinations:

Question:
Solve the quadratic equation $2x^2 - 7x + 3 = 0$ using the factorization method.

Identify the coefficients.
For the quadratic equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ , we have $a=2$ , $b=-7$ , and $c=3$ .
Find two numbers that multiply to $ac$ and add up to $b$ .
We need two numbers that multiply to $ac = (2)(3) = 6$ and add up to $b = -7$ .
The two numbers are $-1$ and $-6$ , because $(-1) \times (-6) = 6$ and $(-1) + (-6) = -7$ .
Rewrite the middle term using these two numbers.
Replace $-7x$ with $-x - 6x$ :
$2x^2 - x - 6x + 3 = 0$
Factor by grouping.
Group the terms and factor out the common factors:
$(2x^2 - x) + (-6x + 3) = 0$ $x(2x - 1) - 3(2x - 1) = 0$
Factor out the common binomial.
The common binomial factor is $(2x - 1)$ :
$(2x - 1)(x - 3) = 0$
Set each factor to zero and solve for $x$ .
For the product of two factors to be zero, at least one of the factors must be zero.
$2x - 1 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x - 3 = 0$ $2x = 1 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 3$ $x = \frac{1}{2} \quad \text{or} \quad x = 3$
