First of all, you need to read the question really carefully and look at how many marks it is worth. The question is worth two marks and it is asking you to do two things: firstly, you need to ‘rationalis...

4x+5=6x-13. Take 4x from both sides 5= 6x-4x-13 5=2x-13. On the right hand side, you have -13 value. Add 13, to make 0. Adding thirteen on right also adds thirteen on left. 5 + 13 = 2x - 13 + 13 18=2x. 2 ...

As there are two unknowns we have to eliminate either the x or the y in order to be able to solve. You can see that in the first equation the x value is a multiple of the x value in the second equation. T...

When we are asked to solve simultaneous equations, what we are being asked to do is find the point where two lines cross. In this case, where we are given two straight lines, there will only be one point ...
