Can you solve these simultaneous equations and find the values of x and y? Equation 1: 2x + y = 14 Equation 2: 4x - y = 10.

Equation 1: 2x + y = 14 Equation 2:   4x - y = 10

Add the two equations together to get 6x = 24. Therefore x = 4.

Then substitute the value x = 4 into equation 1 and solve. ...

Do two random lines, y=ax + b and y=cx + d, intersect? How do we work this out and if they do, where do they intersect?

Let us use Line 1 and Line 2 as an example.

Line 1:  y = 2x + 3

Line 2: y = -0.5x + 7

Step 1 - Try and plot the two functions on a x, y coordinate axes.
