Task goals
- Foundation: Solve simple simultaneous equations by substitution where one equation already gives a variable in terms of the other, or by elimination where coefficients already match.
- Proficient: Solve simultaneous equations by elimination, multiplying one or both equations by a constant to adjust coefficients before adding or subtracting.
- Excellence: Form and solve simultaneous equations from worded real-world contexts, choosing an efficient method and interpreting the solution pair in context.
