Find the x co-ordinates where the curve y=x+1 and y= x^2 +1 cross?

As they both equal y these 2 terms can be equated to each other.x+1 = x^2+1We can re-arrange this new equation, and solve for x.This equals: 0 = x^2 - xsolve for x:0 = x(x-1)so x = 1, 0.

Solve the simultaneous equation 2x + y = 18 and x - y = 6


Simplify this algebraic fraction: 2(x+8) + 2(x+6) / x^2 - 49


Solve the simultaneous equations, make sure to show clear algebraic working: 3x + 5y = 14, 4x + 3y = 4


If x^2 + y^2 = 20 and y=10 - 2x, find x and y.
