8x + 7y = -15 (1st)
-7x - 9y = -7 (2nd)

multiply (1st) by 7 and (2nd) by 8

56x + 49y = -105 (multiply 7)
-56x - 72y = -56 (multiply 8)
--------------------------------------------add
-23y = -161
y = 7

8x + 7y = -15
8x + 7(7) = -15
8x + 49 = -15
8x = -64
x = -8

answer
x = -8 and y = 7

Solve for x in the equation

Viktor [21]

Answer:

${x}^{2} + 2x + 1 = 17 \\ {x}^{2} + 2x - 16 = 0 \\ x = \frac{ - b± \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} \\ x = \frac{ - 2± \sqrt{68} }{2} \\ x = \frac{ - 2±2 \sqrt{17} }{2 } \\ x = - 1± \sqrt{17}$

I'm sorry you got that wrong. The correct answer was R since it is staying in the same place which is called a constant line. It stays in the same place since she isn't moving, she is just standing there waiting for the cab.
