The first step would be to rearrange the first equation to make y the subject:
3x+y=-4 ----> y=-4-3x
Next we want to substitute this value of y into the second equation
3x-4y=6 ----->...

Firstly, take a common denominator for the left hand-side of the equation which would be 12 and then carrying out the subtraction. After carrying out the subtraction you will be left with two fractions - ...

This is a simple simultaneous equationFirst we multiply the second equation by 3 to get 6X - 3Y = 30Then we add the first and second equation together to get 6X + X +3Y - 3Y = 30 + 19which we simply to 7X...

We start by multiplying both sides of the equation by (4 -a). We then expand the brackets "p.(4-a)" and end up with "4p - pa". We then gather the "a's" to one side of the equ...

First, take the 2x and multiply each term in the second bracket by it to give 2x.3x=6x² and 2x.-3= -6x. Then multiply each term of the second bracket by +3 to give 3.3x= 9x and 3.-...
