Create a smiling face with arrows between the terms and then go through and multiply the terms together.(Diagram of the smiling face)(x+4)(2x-3) = 2x² - 12 - 3x + 8x = 2x² + 5x - 12T...

These are simultaneous equations and we need to find the value of X and Y. We can use the elimination method. The coefficients (the amount the letter is being multiplied by) of X and Y do not match. First...

Change both the denominators to 6...Times 13/2 by 3 to get 39/6Times 5/3 by 2 to get 10/6
Then its 39/6 - 10/6 and then look at the numerator and work out 39-10 = 29The answer is therefore 29/6
