(1): 3x+5y=3

(2): 6x+6y=10

Multiply number one by two to give a common factor of 6x in both equations.

(3)=[2*(1)]- 6x+10y=6

Take away equation (...

-First of all add these two equations together so that the ys get eliminated. 
5x=15
x=3 
Since you have found the answer to x which is 3, substitute x into the equation 2x...

Factors of a number are: numbers that can be multiplied (by a whole number/ integer) to make the original number. For example, 6 is a factor of 42, because 6 can be multiplied by 7 to make 42.

For two linear simultaneous equations, two algebraic methods can be used to find solutions.The first is elimination, which is usually a lot quicker. Elimination involves subtracting one equation form t...

A is a 2-digit square number. In order to find the smallest N number we want to find the smallest possible 2-digit sqaure number. To sqaure a number means to multiply this number by itself, e.g. the sq...
