1. Solve each pair of simultaneous linear equations using the most appropriate method:
| a. | x + y = 4 | b. | y + 2x = 7 | c. | y − 5x − 1 = 0 |
| x − y = 2 | 4x − y = 11 | y + 2x − 8 = 0 | |||
| d. | 2y = 7 − 3x | e. | 5y + 4x = 47 | f. | 7x − 5y = 45 |
| 3y = 2x + 4 | y − 2x = -13 | 2x + 3y = 4 | |||
| g. | 3x − 4y = 7 | h. | y = -2x + 7 | i. | y + 6 = x |
| 2x − y = 3 | y = 4x − 11 | 2y + 3 = x | |||
| j. | 3x + 6y = 18 | k. | x = 3 + y | l. | y = x − 4 |
| 5x − y = 8 | 2x + 4y = 12 | 3x + 2y = 2 | |||
| m. | x − 3y = 2 | n. | 3x − 4y = 19 | o. | y = 7x + 4 |
| 2x + 3y = 7 | 2x + y = 9 | y = 2x − 1 |
2. Solve the following pairs of simultaneous equations:
| a. | y = x2 | b. | y = x + 2 | c. | x = y − 7 |
| y = 5x − 4 | x2 + y2 = 10 | xy = -12 | |||
| d. | y = 2x − 3 | e. | xy = 6 | f. | y = 2x2 + 5x + 4 |
| x2 + y2 = 9 | y = x − 5 | y − 2x − 3 = 0 | |||
| g. | y = x2 − 7x + 18 | h. | x2 + y2 = 13 | i. |  |
| y = 3x − 7 | y = x + 1 | y = x − 2 | |||
| j. | x = y − 3 | k. | 8 − 3x + 2y = 0 | l. | y = 24 + 2x − x2 |
 |
y2 = 3x | y = 12 − 2x |
