1: Solve for either x or y in one of the equations. So x + y = -1 is y = -x -1
2: substitute the new equation in the opposite equation. So x - (-x - 1) = 7
3: distribute the negative. X + x + 1 = 7
4: combine like terms. 2x + 1 = 7
5: solve for x. Subtract 1 on both sides. 2x = 6
6: divide by 2 to get x by itself. X = 3
7: plug the new value of x into one of the ORIGINAL equations. 3 + y = -1
8: solve for y. Subtract 3 on both sides.
Y = -4
9: the solution is written as (x,y) so the solution would be (3, -4)
Let the two integers be x and x + 1, then
2(x + 1) + 9 = 3x
2x + 2 + 9 = 3x
3x - 2x = 11
x = 11
Therefore, the integers are 11 and 12.
Answer:9.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x² <span>- x + 8 = 0
D</span>iscriminant = b² - 4ac
a=2, b=-1, c=8
D = (-1)² - 4 * 2 * 8 = 1 - 64 = -63
