Solving Simultaneous Equations - Quick Review Q's

4 Questions

1. When substituting
y = 2x − 1 into 3x + 2y = 5
the second equation becomes:

A 3x + 2(2x − 1) = 5 B 3(2x − 1) + 2y = 5

C 3x + 2y = 2x − 1

2. Decide whether addition or subtraction should be chosen to eliminate the variable x in the
following
simultaneous equation:
x + 2y = 3
x − 5y = −4

A addition (+) B subtraction (-)

3. Solve the simultaneous equations:

x + y = 6 and 3x − y = 10
using the elimination method

A Solution is (2, 4) B Solution is (4, 2)

C Solution is (6, 4). D Solution is (8, 3).

4. Solve the simultaneous equations:

x + y = 10 and y = 4x
using the substitution method

A Solution is (2, 8) B Solution is (8, 2)

C Solution is (18, 12) D Solution is (-2, -8)
