F ind all values of x in the range 0° <= x <= 180° satisfying tan(x+45°)= 8tan(x)

tan(x)+tan(45)/1-tan(x)tan(45) = 8tan(x)

8tan2(x)-7tan(x)+1=0

tan(x)=0.6952 or 0.1798

x = arctan(0.6952) = 34.8070 deg and arctan(0.1798) = 10.1932 deg

At the supermarket, Ben buys 5 apples and 3 pears, at a total cost of £3.70. Jenny buys 6 apples and 6 pears, costing £5.40. Construct two simultaneous equations to work out the price, in pence, of apples and pears.

Ben: 5 apples and 3 pears costing £3.70, therefore: 5a + 3p = 3.7. Jenny: 6 apples and 6 pears costing £5.40, therefore: 6a + 6p = 5.4. (1) 5a + 3p = 3.7, (2) 6a + 6p = 5.4. Multiply equation (1) by 2: 10...
