Solve y=x^2 - 1, y=5 - x

x= -3, y= 8 and x= 2, y= 3
(1) 5 - x = x^2 - 1(2) x^2 + x - 6 = 0(3) (x+3)(x-2) = 0(4) when x = -3, y= 5 - (-3) = 8(5) when x = 2, y= 5 -(2) = 3

The value of a car depreciates by 35% each year. At the end of 2007 it was £5460. Work out the value of the car at the end of 2006.


Solve these simultaneous equations: 2x + y = 7, and 3x - y = 8. Do so by 1) Eliminating an Unknown and 2) Substitution.


If 4x + 3y = 4 and x + 2y = 2 what are the values of x and y ?
