The equation of the line L1 is: y = 5x-4. The equation for line L2 is 2y-10x+16 = 0. Show that these two lines are parallel.

L1: y=5x-4L2: 2y-10x+16=0. Rearranged: 2y=10x-16, y=5x-8 The coefficient of x is the same in both equations when expressed in standard format (5), therefore the lines are parallel.

Solve the equation: x^2 +8x + 12 = 0

This is a classic GCSE-style equation :)
1) Always write out the original equation for clarity (and so that you don't have to look back at the question constantly) :)x^2 + 8x + 12 = 02) Notice that t...

Solve the simultaneous equations E.g. 2x + y = 18 and x − y = 6.

Simultaneous equations can be solved in many ways. The two main ways are "solving for x and y" and the other is "substituting for x and y". Because in this example we are given "...
