Question 5
1 mark

Consider the simultaneous equations below:
\( 3x - 2y = 13 \)
\( x^2 + y^2 = 26 \)
Find the values of \( y \) that satisfy these equations.

Question 6
6 marks

Solve the equation \( \frac{3}{x-2} + \frac{1}{x} = 2 \). Give your answers correct to 2 decimal places.

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.

Question 7
5 marks

A rectangular plot of land has a length of \( (2x + 3) \) meters and a width of \( (x + 2) \) meters.
(a) Given that the area of the plot is \( 55 \) m\(^2\), form an equation in \( x \) and show that it simplifies to \( 2x^2 + 7x - 49 = 0 \).
(b) Solve the equation to find the value of \( x \) and hence calculate the perimeter of the plot.

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.
