Solve the simultaneous equations: x + 2y = 13, 4x - 3y = 8.

Multiply both sides of the equation x + 2y = 13 by 4 to get 4x + 8y = 52. Subtract 4x - 3y = 8 from 4x + 8y = 52 to get 11y = 44. Divide both sides of 11y = 44 by 11 to get y = 4. Since we now know y = ...

How would you solve (4y + 3)/5 + (3y+1)/2 = 4 for y?

The first step is to remove the fractions in the equation, as the equation is easier to solve when there are only whole numbers.To remove the first fraction we should times the entire equation by 5 ----&g...

What is the difference between '<' and '≤'?

  1. 'x < 4' simply means that x is less than 4.2) However, x ≤ 4 means that it is less than or equal to 4. So if you have x = 3, 2, 1, 0 then the first term, 'x < 4' appliesbut if...

Find the equation of the normal of the curve xy-x^2+xlog(y)=4 at the point (2,1) in the form ax+by+c=0

differentiating: xy'+y-2x+(x/y)y'+log(y)=0rearranging: y'=y(2x-y-log(y))/x(1+y)at (2,1): y'=3/4 so gradient of normal at (2,1) is -4/3so the equation of the normal is y-1=(-4/3)(x-2)which is equivalent to...

Solve the simultaneous equations y = x^2 +3x and y = x+8

Because both of the equations are equal to y, the first thing we do is make them equal to each other:x^2 + 3x= x + 8We then want to rearrange the equation so that everything is on the same side of the equ...
