Solve simultaneously, 2x-3y=16 and x+2y=-6

In order to solve this we need to make two of the terms the same and use an elimination method so we are left with only one unknown rather than two. We will multiply x + 2y = -6 by 2 in order to get 2x + ...

The y-intercept of A is 7. A also passes through point (7, 2). (a) Find an equation of A in the form y = mx + c. (b) B is perpendicular to A and also has a y-intercept of 7. Write down the equation for B in the form y = mx + c.

(a) y-intercept = (0,7); other point = (7,2) ; gradient, m = change in y / change in x ; m = (0 - 7) / (7 - 2) => m = -7/5 ; y = mx + c (we know from the question that c=7) ; y = (-7/5)x + 7(b) gradien...

Prove that the multiple of an even number and an odd number is always even.

2n is even, so (2n+1) is odd ; Multiplying even by odd gives: 2n(2n + 1) ; which is a multiple of 2, thus even * odd = even.

A person leaves their flat at 8:00am and travels to work at an average speed of 32 mph. They arrive at work at 9:15am. Calculate the distance they travel to work.

SUVAT equations give s = vt ; v = 32mph ; t = 1h 15mins = 1.25h ; s = 32 * 1.25 = 40 miles
