Solve these simultaneous equations: y=3x-10; y=2x+5

Method 1 (algebraically):

Since we have "y=" at the start of both equations, we can substitue one into the other to get

3x-10=2x+5

How would I solve y=3x, 2x+y=5 using the substitiution method?

y=3x (1)

2x+y = 5 (2)

Here we are being asked to find what the value of x and y is. It is asking us to substitute either x or y into the equation to help us find our solutio...

Solve the simultaneous equations y = x + 3, y^2 - x^2 + 3 = -6x

Here, we have two equations involving two variables, x and y. 


The question asks us to 'solve' the set of simultaneous equations.

Equivalently, it is asking us to

If f(x) = 4x - 7 and f(c) = 9, find the value of c.

To find the value of c, we need to find the value of x in the following: 4x - 7 = 9.

Add seven to both sides: 4x = 16

Divide by 4: x = 4
