Solve for $x$ and $y$:  \[ \begin{eqnarray} a_1x+b_1y&=&c_1\\   a_2x+b_2y&=&c_2 \end{eqnarray} \]

The included video describes a more direct method of solving when, for example, one of the equations gives a variable directly in terms of the other variable.

Solving an equation of the form $ax \equiv b\;\textrm{mod}\;n$ where $a$ and $n$ are coprime.

Straightforward question: student must find the general solution to a second order constant coefficient ODE. Uses custom marking algorithm to check that both roots appear and that the solution is in the correct form (e.g. two arbitrary constants are present). Arbitrary constants can be any non space-separated string of characters. The algorithm also allows for the use of $e^x$ rather than $\exp(x)$.

Unit tests are also included, to check whether the algorithm accurately marks when the solution is correct; when it's correct but deviates from the 'answer'; when one or more roots is incorrect; or when the roots are correct but constants of integration have been forgotten.
