For all values of x, f(x) = (x + 1)^2 and g(x) = 2(x-1). Show that gf(x) = 2x(x + 2).

f(x)=(x+1)^2g(x)=2(x-1)
gf(x)=2([(x+1^2)]-1) =2([(x+1)(x+1)]-1) =2([x^2+2x+1]-1) =2(x^2+2x) =2x(x+2)

How to solve the simultaneous equations: 3x+5y=19 and 4x+6y=22

First find a shared factor between the x's or the y's. Both 5 and 6 are a factor of 30. So 30/5 is 6 therefore we multiply the whole of equation 1 by 6 to get 18x+30y=114. Then 30/6 =5 so we multiply the ...
