Question

What are the solutions to the system of equations? y = 2x² + 6x - 10 \ y = y = -x + 5

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 1.5, y= 3.5

or x= -5, y= 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve by substitution.

Label the two equations:

y= 2x² +6x -10 -----(1)

y= -x +5 -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

2x² +6x -10= -x +5

2x² +6x +x -10 -5= 0

Simplify:

2x² +7x -15= 0

Factorise:

(2x -3)(x +5)= 0

2x -3= 0 or x +5= 0

2x= 3 or x= -5

x= 1.5

Now that we have found the value of x, we can find the value of y through substitution.

Substitute into (2):

y= -1.5 +5 or y= -(-5) +5

y= 3.5 or y= 10
