This question tests the student's ability to solve simple linear equations by elimination. Part a) involves only having to manipulate one equation in order to solve, and part b) involves having to manipulate both equations in order to solve. 

Solve a quadratic equation by completing the square. The roots are not pretty!

Solving a system of three linear equations in 3 unknowns using Gauss Elimination in 4 stages. Solutions are all integral.

Solve for $x$: $\displaystyle \frac{px+s}{ax+b} = \frac{qx+t}{cx+d}$ with $pc=qa$.

Based on an activity tweeted by Richard Perring.

Solve two quadratic equations (with real coefficients) in the complex numbers. The solutions have non-zero imaginary part, fractions can appear (but the denominators are rather small).

Student is given a set of constraints for a linear program. Asked to enter the constraints as inequalities, and then to identify the optimal solution.

Problem with solving the simultaneous equations gven by the constraints - too unwieldy and not given enough marks for doing so. Best if the point of intersection is given graphically by putting the mouse over the intersection.

Find a regression equation.

Now includes a graph of the regression line and another interactive graph gives users the opportunity to move the regression line around. Could be used for allowing users to experiment with what they think the line should be and see how this compares with the calculated line.

Also includes an updated SSE to see how the sum of the squares of the residuals varies with the regression line.
