Solve the simultaneous equations 8x+2y=34 and 4x+2y=18

1.Simplify the two equations: 4x+y=17and 2x+y=9. 2. Rearrange one of the equations to make y=: y=9-2x. 3.Substitute into other equation:4x+9-2x=17. 4. Simplify:2x=8 x=4. 5.Substitute back into either of the two original equations and simplify:4(4)+y=17. 16+y=17.y=1

Solve the following simultaneous equations: 2x-3y=16 x+2y=-6


Rationalise the denominator and simplify: 10/3√5 (2 marks)


Given the curve y=x^2 -6x +8, find the turning point.


Solve these simultaneous equations: 2x + y = 7, and 3x - y = 8. Do so by 1) Eliminating an Unknown and 2) Substitution.
