1. solve for x and y

2x − y = 1 2x + 3y = 8 3x + 5 y = 7
(a) (b (c)
2 x + 2 y = 10 5x − 2 y = 1 4x + 3y = 2

5 x − y = 15 3x − y = 6 3x + 5 y = 1
(d) (e) (f)
x + y = −3 2 x + 5 y = −1 3 x − y = −5

2x − 5 y = 3 2x + 3y = 6 3 x − y = 18
(g) (h) (i)
3x + 2 y = 14 3x + 2 y = −1 x + 2 y = −1

2. solve for x and y

2 x + 13 = 5 y 3x + 2 y − 14 = 0 5 y − 13 = 3 x
(a) (b) (c)
3 x + 4 y − 15 = 0 2 x + 16 = 5 y 2x + 3y − 4 = 0

x + 5y − 2 = 0 4 x + 3 y + 10 = 0 2x + 5 y + 5 = 0
(d) (e) (f)
3y − 9 = 2x 5y − 18 = 2 x 2y + 31 = 5 x

3. John buys 20 postage stamps for £5.36 . If he only buys stamps of value 22p and 30p, how
many of each kind did he buy?

4. If Mary and Tom put their money together they have £36 . If Mary’s money were halved
and Tom’s money doubled they would have £42. How much money does each have?

5. A packet of razors and a bar of soap cost £5.50 . If the soap costs £2.50 less than the
razors, find the cost of each.

6. James bought 2 bottles of lemonade and 1 bag of crisps for £1.40 .


Jill bought 1 bottle of lemonade and 3 bags of crisps for £1.70 .
