In mathematics, a set of simultaneous equations, also known as a system of equations or an equation system, is a finite set of equations for which common solutions are sought. An equation system is usually classified in the same manner as single equations, namely as a:
System of linear equations,
System of nonlinear equations,
System of bilinear equations,
System of polynomial equations,
System of differential equations, or a
System of difference equations
I multiplied the top one by 4, and the bottom one by 5 to make the y coefficients the same and got;
16x + 20y = 48
-40x + 20y = 160
Then I subtracted the bottom one from the top one and got;
-24 x = -112
Which gave x = 4.666...
But the answer for x was -2
I realise now that if I had...
My approach on this;
##\dfrac{x^2}{4}-\dfrac{y^2}{9}=\dfrac{y^2}{4}-\dfrac{x^2}{9}##
##9x^2-4y^2=9y^2-4x^2##
##13x^2-13y^2=0##
##x^2=y^2##
Therefore, on substituting back into equation we shall have;
##\dfrac{x^2}{4}-\dfrac{x^2}{9}=1##
##9x^2-4x^2=36##
##5x^2=36##
##x^2=7.2##...
The point (1, 5) is on the curve: y=ax^2+bx+c. This point gives the linear equation: 5 = a + b + c. A second point on the curve, (2, 10) gives the linear equation 10=4a+2b+c. A student called Erika thinks that the point (2, 19) is also on the curve.
5 = a + b + c.
10=4a+2b+c
19=4a+2b+c

$$(1+i)z+(2-i)w=3+4i$$
$$iz+(3+i)w=-1+5i$$
ok, multiplying the first equation by##(1-i)## and the second equation by ##i##, we get,
$$2z+(1-3i)w=7+i$$
$$-z+(-1+3i)w=-5-i$$
adding the two equations, we get ##z=2##,
We know that, $$iz+(3+i)w=-1+5i$$
$$⇒2i+(3+i)w=-1+5i$$...

Ok, i was able to solve this by using,
##3A=3ax+12ay+6bx+3by+3b##
##2B=2ay-4ax+4a+4bx-6by-2b##

##7x+10y=4##

Hi everyone
Could someone please help with the above equation?
Here is the working for my attempt
ax + bx + cy = bc
by + cy + ax = -ab
ax + bx + cy = bc
by + cy + ax = -ab
b(x-y) = b(a + c)
x - y = a + c
a^2 + ac + ay + ab + bc + by + cy = bc
a+2 + ac + ay + by + by = -ab...

I'm really stuck on this one, I was able to get the answer but not by the substitution method.
So its the weight as A and B so I get A + B = 24
A(3) = B(5) so in my head I calculate a few pairs, 3 x 5 = 15 but 3 + 5 only = 8 so the next pair would be 10 and 6 which is still to small so I move...
Equation 1:
Where t1=time spent on motorway
Where t2=time spent on country roads
t1+t2=4
Equation 2:
Using distance = speed * time
200 = 70*t1+40*t2
Rearrange equation 1 in terms of t1;
t1=4-t2
Substitute the rearranged form of equation 1 into equation 2:
200=70(4-t2)+40t2
200=280-70t2+40t2...
(55x + 45y) = 520 (1)
(45x + 55y) = 480 (2)
So first I notice they are divisible by 5 so I go ahead and do that.
(11x + 9y) = 104 (1)
(9x + 11y) = 96 (2)
11 times 9 is 99 and 9 times 11 is 99 so I can cancel some terms. I proceed to do that by multiplying the top by 11 and getting: (121x +...
Here are three equations:

$$E_{4}=rE_{3}+itE_{1} \tag{2}$$
$$E_{2}=\tau\exp\left(i\varphi\right)E_{4} \tag{3}$$
I started by substituting Eqn. 3 into Eqn. 2,
$$\frac{E_{2}}{\tau}\exp\left(-i\varphi\right)=rE_{3}+itE_{1}, \ \therefore E_{3} =...
