The equation of line A is (x)^2 + 11x + 12 = y - 4, while the equation of line B is x - 6 = y + 2. Find the co-ordinate(s) of the point at which lines A and B intersect.

While this question may seem complicated, this question is simply asking you to solve the equations of these two lines as simultaneous equations. Line A: x² + 11x + 12 = y - 4 --> x

Solve the following quadratic equation: 2x^2 - 5x - 3 = 0

Firstly, we need to factorise the equation:We can see (and are told) that the equation is quadratic and is therefore of the form ax^2 + bx + c. In our case, a=2, b=-5 and c=-3. We therefore expect two pai...
