Task 6
Simplify:
(a + 3)(a − 3)

Task 7
Draw the following equations. Is there a point of intersection?
I : 2x − y = 0
II : x + y = −3

Task 8
In a stationery shop, cost of 3 pencil cutters exceeds the price of 2 pens by 2
Euro. Also, the total price of 7 pencil cutters and 3 pens is 43 Euro. Formulate
the linear equations and solve the equation system using a method of your
choice. What does one pencil cutter and one pen cost?

Task 9
Solve: (using a method of your choice)
I : 2x - 6= − y
II : 3x = 11 + 2y

Task 10
Solve: (using a method of your choice)
I : y - 10 = 4x
II : 2y = 8x + 10
