Substituting y = x-3 into the first equation and expanding brackets:(x-3)²+x² = 6 <=> 2x² -6x +9 =6 <=> 2x² -6x +3 =0Solving by using the quadratic ...

3x + 5y = 19 and4x - 2y = -18Find the common multiple for 3x and 4x to enable it to be cancelled out. In this case it would be 124(3x + 5y) = 4(19) 3(4x - 2y) = 3(-18) 12x + 20y = 76 12x - 6y = -54 12x + ...

x = 10, y = 4

This question is about geometric sequences. The first step in solving this question is identifying that each term is multiplied by 3 to get to the next term.Therefore since the formula for finding the sum...

The aim of the question is to work out the values for x and y in order to make both equation correct. Therefore the best approach is to try to isolate one of the letters first. step 1. rearrange both equa...
