To start make the equation equal y.
So y = 7x+4
Then rearrange the equation to make x the subject.
Subtract 4 from both sides: y-4 = 7x
Divide by 7: (y-4)/7 = x

Solve the simultaneous equations: y = 4x^2 - 9x - 1 and y = 5 - 4x

Subtract the second equation from the first, giving you: 4x^2 -5x -6

Factorise the quadratic: (4x + 3)(x - 2)

x = -0.75

x= 2

Now substitute these...

Find the inverse of y = 2x+1/ x-1

the aim of finsing the inverse is making x the subject. To start we need to multiply both sides by: (x-1), giving us:y(x-1) = 2x+1now we need to expand the brackets:yx - y = 2x+1now gather all the x compo...
