Question

Solve the simultaneous equations y=2-5x y = x² – 2x – 8

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sub equation 1 into 2

2-5x=x²-2x-8

0=x²-2x+5x-8-2

0=x²+3x-10

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

x=2 or x=-5

sub x into equation 1

y=2-5(2)                            or        y=2-5(-5)

y=-8                                              y=27
