How do you solve between the two simultaneous equations 2x+y=4 and 3x+2y =6?

First label your two simultaneous equations1)2x+y=42)3x+2y=6Then rearrange 1)1*) y=4-2xNow sub 1*) into 2)3x + 2(4-2x)=6and expand brackets and solve for x3x+8-4x=6-x=-2x=2Now sub x=2 into 1)2(2)+y=4y=0

The distance from the Earth to the Sun is 93 million miles. Assume: it takes 365 days for the Earth to travel once around the Sun and the Earth travels in a circle with the Sun at the centre. Work out the average speed of the Earth in miles per hour.


Expand and simplify (6x + 10)(3x - 2)


Solve the simultaneous equations to find x and y: 3y - x = 12 y + 2x = -3
