How would you solve the simultaneous equations 2x + y = 7 and 3x - y = 8

To solve a pair of simultaneous equations you need to find the values of x and y which are the same for both equations. To do this you should eliminate one of the unknowns - in this instance it can easily...

If an equation of a line is y=2x+4 and it crosses the x axis at point R, what is the value of x?

Since we know that the line crosses the x axis, we can assume that the value of Y at this point is 0. So we must substitute y = 0 into the equation y = 2x + 40 = 2x + 4we now have to isolate x on its own ...

A curve has equation y = 20x -x^(2) - 2x^(3). The curve has a stationary point at the point M where x = −2. Find the x coordinates of the other stationary point.

First you must differentiate the given equation. This give you 20-2x-6x². Since we are told that one of the stationary points is at x=-2, this is one of the factors of the differential equation...
