Be careful to note what a GCSE question is asking. If it states ‘solve algebraically’ then you must do so. To find solutions from graphs, look for the point where the two graphs cross one another.
Equations that have more than one unknown can have an infinite number of solutions. For example, \(2x + y = 10\) could be solved by: \(x = 1\) and \(y = 8\) \(x = 2\) and \(y = 6\) \(x = 3\) and \(y = ...
