The statement is False.

For this, it is enough to show a case in which the subtraction of two positive numbers is negative.

For this, we must choose two numbers.

Suppose we want to subtract the following numbers:

Number 1: 5

Number 2: 10

Subtracting both numbers we have:

5 - 10 = -5

We observe that the result is negative. Therefore, the given conclusion is false.

Answer:

Counterexample:

5-10 = -5

Answer:

x = \frac{7+\sqrt{47}\times i }{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>To solve quadratic systems,we always substitute one variable in terms if the other and then solve the equation.</u>

x + 2y = 6                                 ---------------(1)

y - 5 = (x-2)^{2}         ---------------(2)

y = (x-2)^{2} + 5         ---------------(3)

Substitute (3) in (1) ,

x + 2( (x-2)^{2} + 5 ) = 6

(a + b)^{2} =a^{2} + 2ab + b^{2}

x + 2( x^{2} - 4x + 4 + 5 ) = 6

2x^{2} - 7x + 12=0      --------------(4)

The roots of the quadratic equation ax^{2}  +bx+c is

x = \frac{(-b) + \sqrt{(-b)^{2}-4 \times ac }  }{2 \times a}  -----------(5)

According to equation (5),solution of (4) is

x =  \frac{7 + \sqrt{(-7)^{2}-4 \times 24 }  }{2 \times 2}

x =  \frac{7+\sqrt{49-96}}{4}

x = \frac{7+\sqrt{47}\times i }{4}
