Question

Find the solution(s) of the system of equations:

Answer 1

The solutions are (0, - 6) ,(7, 8)

The given system of equations is expressed as

y = x² - 5x - 6- - - - - - - - - - - - (1)

y = 2x - 6- - - - - - - - - - - (2)

We would apply the method of substitution by substituting equation 2 into equation 1. It becomes

x² - 5x - 6 = 2x - 6

x² - 5x - 6 = 2x - 6

x² - 5x - 2x - 6 + 6 = 0

x² - 7x = 0

x(x - 7) = 0

x = 0 or x - 7 = 0

x = 7 or x = 0

Substituting x = 0 into equation 2, it becomes

y = 2 × 0 - 6

y = - 6

Substituting x = 7 into equation 2, it becomes

y = 2 × 7 - 6

y = 14 - 6

y = 8
