1) Use substitution to solve the following simultaneous equations [2]

a)
x = 5y + 6
x+ 2y = 27

b)
y = x+7
3x + 6y = 69

2) Use elimination to solve the following simultaneous equations [4]

a)
x + 8y = 30
−x + 2y = 0

b)
x + 4y = 22
x + 3y = 18

c)
3x + 6y = 12
x − 2y = −8

d)
5x + 3y = −49
2x − 2y = −10
