Work these simultaneous equations out on paper and write down your answers.

[tex]\[
\begin{array}{cccc}
-7c + 3d = 26 & c = \square & -7e + 6f = 24 & e = \square \\
c + 6d = -23 & d = \square & 3e + f = -21 & f = \square \\
-7x + 5y = -7 & x = \square & 5a + 2b = 21 & a = \square \\
x + 7y = -53 & y = \square & -3a - 5b = -5 & b = \square \\
6v + w = -4 & v = \square & -3g + h = -6 & g = \square \\
-6v + 5w = 16 & w = \square & 6g - 5h = 21 & h = \square \\
\end{array}

Answer :

To solve the given sets of simultaneous equations step-by-step, we arrive at the following values for each variable:

1. For the equations [tex]\(-7c + 3d = 26\)[/tex] and [tex]\(c + 6d = -23\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \begin{cases} -7c + 3d = 26 \\ c + 6d = -23 \end{cases} \][/tex]
Solving these, we find:
[tex]\[ c = -5, \quad d = -3 \][/tex]

2. For the equations [tex]\(-7e + 6f = 24\)[/tex] and [tex]\(3e + f = -21\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \begin{cases} -7e + 6f = 24 \\ 3e + f = -21 \end{cases} \][/tex]
Solving these, we find:
[tex]\[ e = -6, \quad f = -3 \][/tex]

3. For the equations [tex]\(-7x + 5y = -7\)[/tex] and [tex]\(x + 7y = -53\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \begin{cases} -7x + 5y = -7 \\ x + 7y = -53 \end{cases} \][/tex]
Solving these, we find:
[tex]\[ x = -4, \quad y = -7 \][/tex]

4. For the equations [tex]\(5a + 2b = 21\)[/tex] and [tex]\(-3a - 5b = -5\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \begin{cases} 5a + 2b = 21 \\ -3a - 5b = -5 \end{cases} \][/tex]
Solving these, we find:
[tex]\[ a = 5, \quad b = -2 \][/tex]

5. For the equations [tex]\(6v + w = -4\)[/tex] and [tex]\(-6v + 5w = 16\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \begin{cases} 6v + w = -4 \\ -6v + 5w = 16 \end{cases} \][/tex]
Solving these, we find:
[tex]\[ v = -1, \quad w = 2 \][/tex]

6. For the equations [tex]\(-3g + h = -6\)[/tex] and [tex]\(6g - 5h = 21\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \begin{cases} -3g + h = -6 \\ 6g - 5h = 21 \end{cases} \][/tex]
Solving these, we find:
[tex]\[ g = 1, \quad h = -3 \][/tex]

The results derived from these equations are:

[tex]\[ \begin{array}{cccc} c = -5 & \quad & e = -6 & \quad \\ d = -3 & \quad & f = -3 & \quad \\ x = -4 & \quad & a = 5 & \quad \\ y = -7 & \quad & b = -2 & \quad \\ v = -1 & \quad & g = 1 & \quad \\ w = 2 & \quad & h = -3 & \quad \end{array} \][/tex]
