Make x the subject of the following formula: 2x-4=2y.

To answer this question we must rearrange the equation to isolate y.Firstly, add 4 to each side, giving 2x=2y+4; Finally, divide both sides by 2 giving x=(2y+4)/2.

Solve the following simultaneous equations: 3x + 5y = 19 and 8x - 2y = -18. If both equations represent lines in a coordinate system, at which point do they intersect?

I. 3x + 5y = 19 II. 8x - 2y = -18 . We see that we can simplify the second equation, and we do so: II. x - y = -9. Now, we check to see which variable i...

You are told that a straight line runs through 2 points: (1,1) and (2,3). What is the equation of the line?

Recall that all straight lines have the general equation y = mx + c, where m is the gradient of the line and c is the y intercept. First work out the gradient, m, of the line: Gradient = rise/run = (chang...
