So hmmm x²+6x+8=0

alrite.. let's do some grouping now
( x² + 6x + [?]²) + 8 = 0

notice above, we have a missing fellow in order to get a perfect square trinomial... hmm who would that be?

let's take a peek at the middle guy of the trinomial.. 6x.. hmmm let's factor it, 2*3*x, wait a minute!  2 * 3 * x... we already have x² on the left-side, since the middle term is just 2 * the square root of the other two terms, that means that the guy on the right, our missing guy must be "3"

alrite, let's add 3² then, however, bear in mind that, all we're doing is borrowing from our very good friend Mr Zero, 0

so if we add 3², we also have to subtract 3², let's do so

(x² + 6x +3² - 3²) + 8 = 0

(x² + 6x +3²) + 8 - 3² = 0

(x+3)²=3² - 8

(x+3)² = 1

Solve the following system of equations using the substitution method.
sergey [27]

Answer:

y=1; x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitution:

x=2y

2x+5y=9

=> if x=2y, plug in the x value into other equation, so

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2(2y)+5y=9

4y+5y=9

9y=9

y=1

You have the Y value, so now solve for X

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

plug in y value to x=2y

so x=2(1)

x=2
