Solve the simultaneous equations: 3x+2y=11, 2x-5y=1.

Step 1) Label Equations 1) 3x+2y=11 2) 2x-5y=1 Step 2) Multiply so that one variable has same coefficient in both equations.1)x5 15x+10y=55 2)x2 4x-10y=2Step 3) Add/Subtract equations to remove one variable. 1+2: 19x=57Step 4) Solve to find x x= 57/19 = 3Step 5) Sub x back into original equation to find y 3(3)+2y=11 2y=11-9 2y=2 y=1 x=3, y=2

A circle with centre C has equation x^2 + y^2 + 2x - 6y - 40 = 0. Express as (x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = d.


Solve (72x^3 - 18x)/(12x^2 - 6x) = 0 for x.


The line l is a tangent to the circle x^2 + y^2 = 40 at the point A. A is the point (2, 6). The line l crosses the x-axis at the point P. Work out the area of triangle OAP.
