Question

The first two steps in determining the solution set of the system of equations, y = x2 – 6x + 12 and y = 2x – 4, algebraically are shown in the table. Which represents the solution(s) of this system of equations? (4, 4) (–4, –12) (4, 4) and (–4, 12) (–4, 4) and (4, 12)

Answer 1

Answer:

(4,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

is the correct answer

Answer 2

Y = 2x - 4....so sub in 2x - 4 for x in the other equation

y = x^2 - 6x + 12
2x - 4 = x^2 - 6x + 12
x^2 - 6x - 2x + 12 + 4 = 0
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 0
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 0

x - 4 = 0
x = 4

x - 4 = 0
x = 4

solution is (4,4)
