Expand and simplify fully 4(x - 2) - 2(3 - 5x)

Firstly, expand out the first bracket -    4x - 8 - 2(3 - 5x)    
Then the second bracket (remember a minus x a minus = a positive) -     4x - 8 - 6 + 10x

Then finally group the like terms together - 4x + 10x - 8 - 6

= 14x - 14

solve this simultaneous equation: 2x + 3y = 19 (Eq1) and 3x + y = 11 (Eq2)


Solve x^2=4(x-3)^2


Solve the simultaneous equations 3x + 2y = 12 and 10y = 7x + 16


How could you sketch a graph for y=x^2-10x+21?
