Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

We are going to solve for $y$ first. To do this, we need to eliminate $x$ from the equations. The quickest way to do this is to multiply the first equation by the co-efficient of $x$ in the second equation (here $\var{n3}$ ), and multiply the second equation by the co-efficient of $x$ in the first equation (here $\var{n1}$ ). We then get the equations:

Gap 0. $x$ + Gap 1. $\simplify{y +{ans1}*(-1)*{n3}} = 0$

Gap 2. $x$ + Gap 3. $\simplify{y +{ans2}*(-1)*{n1}} = 0$

Advice

Solve the pair of equations

$\begin{eqnarray} \simplify{{n1}*x + {n2}*y -{ans1}} = 0 &&&&&&&(1)\\ \simplify{{n3}*x + {n4}*y -{ans2}} = 0 &&&&&&&(2)\end{eqnarray}$

$\simplify{{n3}*{n1}*x + {n3}*{n2}*y +{ans1}*(-1)*{n3}} = 0$

$\simplify{{n1}*{n3}*x + {n1}*{n4}*y +{ans2}*(-1)*{n1}} = 0$

We then subtract one new equation from the other to get:

$\simplify{{yCoef}y - {ans3} = 0}$

Now we can work out $y$

$y = \var{b}$

and substitute this value back in to any of the previous equations to get the value for $x$ .

$\simplify{{n1}*x + {n2}*{b} + (-1)*{ans1}}$ = 0

which then solves to give $x = \var{a}$ .

Give a worked solution to the whole question.
