To solve these equations you first want to eliminate the same variable from each equation. In this question it is easiest to eliminate Y, to do this we will times equation 1 by 3 to get 21X-18Y=114 and eq...

Change 16 as a power of 2 to get 2⁴. Change 8^2x as a power of 2 gives (2³)^2x. You can times the two powers together giving 2^6x.So 16*8^2x=2...

Step 1: Factorise the equation either directly or by using the quadratic formulae {[-b(+/-)sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a}. This equation can be factorised directly since 3*3=9 (for the last term on the RHS) and 3+3=6...

Example solve the following, equation 1: x²+2y=9 equation 2: y=x+3In this example we have to use substitution, therefore we sub in equation 2 into 1 to get the following x²+2(x+3)=9 ...

2^6 = 64 (2x2x2x2x2x2)6^2= 36 (6x6)
64+36= 100
Square root of 100= 10 (10x10=100)
