Emily bought 3 books and 2 apples, and she spent £19, while her brother, John, spent £15 on 1 book and 5 apples. What is the cost of one book and one apple?

First we assign, for example, that x = cost of 1 book, and y = cost of 1 apple. Then we make these into simultaneous equations, such as: 3x+2y=19 (eqn. 1) and x+5y=15 (eqn. 2). Now multiply eqn. 2 to get ...

Let f ( x ) = 15 /x and g ( x ) = 2 x − 5 Find fg(4), gf(-30) and give the expression for gf(x)

Key here is the order of operation.g(4) =2x4 - 5=8-5=3fg(4) = f(3)=15/3=5gf(-30)f(-30)=15/-30=-1/2gf(-30)=g(-1/2)=2x-1/2 -5=-1-5=-6gf(x)f(x)=15/xg(15/x)=2*15/x -5=30/x -5

Solve the Simultaneous equations. 3x+5y=22 4x-5y=6

3x+5y=224x-5y=6Our first task is to cancel out one of the variables. So you see that both y variables have a 5 before them. As one has -5 and the other has +5 you can add both simultaneous equations toget...

A graph of a linear equation passes through 2 points, (2,9) and (-3,-1). Find the equation of the line in the form y=mx+c.

So first of all in finding the equation of this line, we shall find the gradient of the line which is represented by m. To find m, we use a formula and the values in the 2 coordinates. The first coordinat...
