Why I'm considering to become an acrobat

1. Solve the simultaneous equations 2yx = 1 and xy + x2 = 26.

[4 marks]


xy + x2 = 26 …………….. 1


2y – x = 1

x = 1 – 2y ……………….. 2


Substitute 2 in 1



Sigh...

Should I even continue...

Shouldn't it be x=2y-1? =P

Exactly my point!

This did not happen once. Or twice. Or just three times...

It happens repeatedly!! You see it again and again and again!

WaAaaUurRgh....
