Let: eq 1:2x+5y=-55
eq 2:y=3x+6
by substituting eq 2 in eq 1 we get,
2x+5(3x+6)=-55
2x+15x+30+55=0
17x + 85=0
x=-85/17
x=-5
By substituting x value in eq 2,
we have,
y=3(-5)+6=-15+6=-9
Answer:
a=-8 b=2
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+6x-16
x^2+(8-2)x-16=0
x^2+8x-2x-16=0
X(X+8)-2(X+8)=0
(X+8)(x-2)=0
Compare with (X+a)(X+b)
Where we get a=-8 b=2
