Solve algebraically the simultaneous equations x^2 +y^2 = 25, y – 3x = 13
Rearrange y - 3x = 13y = 3x + 13 2. Substitute into x^2 +y^2 = 25x^2 + (3x + 13)^2 = 25 3. Expand bracketx^2 +(9x^2 + 39x +39x +169) = 25 4. Form quadratic equation 10x^2 + 78x + 144 = 0 (Dividing by 2 makes factorising easier)5x^2 + 39x + 72 = 0 5. Factorise (5x + 24)(x + 3) = 0 6. Solve for xx = -24/5, x = -3 7. Substitute values of x into y = 3x +13 to find y values x = -24/5, y = -7/5x = -3, y = 4

Factorise x^2 - 8x + 12
Show that (x + 4)(x + 5)(x + 6) can be written in the form ax3 + bx2 + cx + d where a, b, c and d are positive integers.
There are a total of 50 apples and pears (apples + pears) in a large basket. If the total number of apples was doubled and the total number of pears was tripled, these two numbers would add up to 130. How many apples and pears are in the basket?
Factorise x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0
