If x:y=7:4 and x + y = 88, work out the value of x – y.

Total of parts: 7+4=11therefore if we divide 88 in 11 “parts” we get each part as 8.hence if x corresponds to 7 parts then x=8X7=56 and if y corresponds to 4 “parts” y=4X8=32THEREFORE: x-y=56-32=24

The equation of the line L1 is y = 3x – 2. The equation of the line L2 is 3y – 9x + 5 = 0. Show that these two lines are parallel.

Use these 2 simultaneous equations to find x & y: 5y+21=9x and 6x+7y=45

Claire drove from Manchester to London, it took her 4 hours at an average speed of 85 km/h. Matt drove from Manchester to London, it took him 5 hours. Assuming he took the same route as Claire and took no breaks, work out his average speed in km/h.
