Innerinner + outerouter + innerouter + outerinnerCheck if anything could be added together to simplify the terms
Result = x²+5x+6

2y + 3x = 19y + 7x = 26
so2y + 3x = 192y + 14x = 52
minus the top from the bottom11x = 33x= 3
put x into the initial questiony + 7(3) = 26y = 26-21y=5

So with simultaneous equations we want to try and eliminate one of the unknowns we have. In this case, they are a and b. If we label the two equations 1 and 2 we have to find a way to reduce the equations...

Begin by finding the difference between each consecutive term11-8=314-11=317-14=3
This shows that to get to the next term of the sequence, you add 3.
Therefore the next term of the sequence is ...

Common denominator: 1/3 + 1/4 = 4/12 +3/12 Add numerators: 4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12Cannot simplify further, so answer is 7/12.
