1. Simultaneous Equations – Linear & Non-Linear Algebraically
– Higher – GCSE Questions
These questions are the same format as previous GCSE exams.
COPY means they use the exact same numbers as the original GCSE question.
Otherwise, they are clone questions using different numbers.
The worksheets are provided in a variety of sizes.

6. GCSE y = 13 + 3x y2 = (13 + 3x) (13 + 3x) = 169 + 39x + 39x + 9x2
Edexcel Higher: May 2017 Paper 1, Q20 1
Solve algebraically the simultaneous equations
x2 + y2 = 25
y – 3x = 13
y = x
y2 = (13 + 3x) (13 + 3x) = x + 39x + 9x2
x2 + (9x2 + 78x + 169) = 25
10x2 + 78x = 25
10x2 + 78x = 0
(5x + ) (x + )
5x2 + 39x + 72 = 0

(5x + 24 ) (x + 3) = 0
x + 3 = 0
5x = 0
x = -3
5x = -24
substitute
x = − 24 5 =−4 4 5
y – (3 x -3) = 13
y – (-9) = 13
y + 9 = 13
y = 4
x = -4.8
substitute
y – (3 x -4.8) = 13
y – (-14.4) = 13
y = 13
y = -1.4
x = -4.8, y = -1.4
x = -3, y = 4
(Total for Question 1 is 5 marks)
