Solve the simultaneous equations 3x+2y=4 and 4x+5y=17 for x and y

Rearrange one of the equations to get x equals an equation in terms of y.3x+2y=4Take 2y away from both sides3x=4-2yDivide both sides by 3x=(4-2y)/3Substitute this into the other equation in place of x4((4...

Solve the equation (6/x-2)-(6/x+1) =1

1 - Multiply each part of equation by denominators to multiply out the fractions. {(6(x-2))/x-2} - {(6(x-2))/x+1} = 1(x-2). This would simply to 6 - {(6(x-2))/x+1} = x - 2. We then do the same for the oth...

A is the point with coordinates (2,7) and B is the point with coordinates (8,10). Find the coordinates of the midpoint of AB.

1 - Draw a sketch graph of where the points would be to help visualise the midpoint. 2 - Work out the midpoint for each axis. For example, for x, it would be (0.5*(2+8)) = 5 and for y, it would be (0.5*(7...

(Q20 Non-Calculator paper, Higher Tier) Solve algebraically the simultaneous equations: x^2 + y^2 = 25 and y – 3x = 13

We have a quadratic equation (unknowns are raised to the power of 2) and a liner equation (power 1). We will use the linear equation to express one of the variables, e.g. y, in terms of t...

A 20-foot ladder is leaning against a vertical wall. The bottom of the ladder is pulled away horizontally from the wall at 3 feet per second. How fast is the top of the ladder sliding down the wall when the bottom of the ladder is 10 feet away?

This question can be divided into two different equations. In order to calculate how fast the ladder is sliding downwards, you need to know at what original vertical height the ladder is leaning on the wa...
