| Topic | Simultaneous equations |
| Type | Linear simultaneous equations |
| Difficulty | Easy -1.8 This is a straightforward two-variable linear simultaneous equations problem requiring only substitution of one equation into the other and basic algebraic manipulation. It's significantly easier than average A-level content, being a fundamental skill tested early in C1 with no conceptual challenges or multi-step reasoning required. |
| Spec | 1.02c Simultaneous equations: two variables by elimination and substitution1.03a Straight lines: equation forms y=mx+c, ax+by+c=0 |
4 Find, algebraically, the coordinates of the point of intersection of the lines $y = 2 x - 5$ and $6 x + 2 y = 7$.
