Answer:
x=−2 or x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x2−2x−3=5
Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.
x2−2x−3−5=5−5
x2−2x−8=0
Step 3: Factor left side of equation.
(x+2)(x−4)=0
Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.
x+2=0 or x−4=0
x=−2 or x=4
1. y = 2/3x - 5
2. 4x - 6y = 30
Divide 2. by 2
3. 2x - 3y = 15
Substitute 1. into 3.
4. 2x - 3(2/3x - 5) = 15
5. 2x - 2x + 15 = 15
6. 15 = 15
