Find the point(s) of intersection of the curve y=x^2+7x+14 and y=2x+8:

Equate the two graphs:x2+7x+14=2x+8Rearrange to find a single quadratic:x2+5x+6=0Factorize and solve:(x+2)(x+3)x=-2 x=-3Sub x values into one of the original graphs to find y:(-2,4) (-3,2)
I can also provide snapshots of Desmos Graphing Calculator to show what the algebra is actually doing

How would one multiply out brackets?


A different pattern is made using 20 straight lines and 16 arcs. The straight lines and arcs are made of metal. 20 straight lines cost £12 and the cost of one straight line: cost of one arc = 2:3. Work out the total cost of metal in the pattern.


Please solve the following simultaneous equations 4x + 7y = 336 y = 6x + 2
