2x + y = 10 (1) 3x + 4y = 25 (2) 1. Eliminate y. Method 1: (1) x 4: 8x + 4y = 40 (1') (1') - (2): 5x = 15 Method 2: Rearrange (1): y = 10 - 2x (1") Substitute (1") into (2): 3x + 4(10 - 2x) = 25 (3...

If you're asked to solve a quadratic equation, you could factorise it, or you could use the quadratic formula. The quickest way is to factorise, but sometimes the numbers are too tricky to factorise, (if an ...
