It's the first choice. If you multiply the first equation by 3, your y term is a +12, and if you multiply the second equation by 4, your y term is a -12. When you add them the y terms cancel each other out.

Write down the quadratic equation whose roots are $x = -7$ and $x = 1,$ and the coefficient of $x^2$ is 1. Enter your answer in

<h2>Steps:</h2>

So firstly, since we know that the coefficient of x² is 1, this means that this is our base equation:

y = x² + bx + c

Now, since we know that the roots are -7 and 1, set y = 0 and set x = -7 and 1 and simplify:

$0=(-7)^2+b(-7)+c\\0=49-7b+c\\-49=-7b+c\\\\0=1^2+b(1)+c\\0=1+b+c\\-1=b+c\\\\-49=-7b+c\\-1=b+c$

Now with this, we can set up a system of equations to solve for b and c. For this, I will be using the elimination method. For this, subtract the 2 equations:

$\begin{alignedat}{2}-49&=-7b+c\\-(-1&=b+c)\\-48&=-8b\end{alignedat}$
