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.

Our technique here will be the same used to solve the problem 5(x+3) = 60, but we must take care at each step to decide whether our inequality changes direction.Firstly, we expand the brackets to give 5x ...

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...

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...

Firstly, recognise the relevant equations. The two functions are y = mx and y = ln(x). As the straight line is a tangent, we know that at a certain point x₀, the functions and ...
