Solve the following simultaneous equation for x and y: 2x + 5y = 8, 4x + y = 7

Equation A: 2x + 5y = 8 Equation B: 4x + y = 7 2A: 4x + 10y = 16 2A - B: 9y = 9, Therefore y = 1 Sub y back into equation A to find x: 2x + 5 = 8, 2x = 3, x = 1.5

solve (2x+3)/(x-4) - (2x-8)/(2x+1) = 1 leave answer in fraction form

times both sides by both denominators = (2x+3)(2x+1) - (2x-8)(x-4) = (2x+1)(x-4) times out brackets = (4x 2 + 8x +3) - (2x 2 -16x +32) = 2x 2 -7x -4 simplify = 2x 2 +24x -29 = 2x 2 -7x -4 bring x's to one si...

6x – 7 = 14 – x

The first thing you need to do is collect all the 'like terms' on the same side of the equation. Start with the 'x' terms and remember to reverse the signs as you cross them over to the other side. 7x - 7 =1...

Factorise 2x^3=10x+12x^2

Move everything to the same side: 2x^3-12X^2-10x=0 2.Take out a factor of 2x: 2x(x^2-6x-5)=0 3.Complete the square on the quadratic: 2x[(x-3)^2-14]=0
