Divide given eq. by -2, we get, x^2-4x+0.5=0. Here a=1, b=-4 and c=0.5. As disccriminant is given by sqrt(b^2-4*a*c).so sqrt((-4)^2-4*1*0.5)=3.7417.
Real roots are x1,2=-b+-discriminant
x1=-4+3.7417=-0.2583 and x2=-4-3.7417=-7.7417

Find the solution of this system of equations. Separate the x- and the y- values with a comma. X=6+y -8x+9y=-29
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

x= 25, y = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{x = y + 6 | (equation 1)

9 y - 8 x = -29 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{x - y = 6 | (equation 1)

-(8 x) + 9 y = -29 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{-(8 x) + 9 y = -29 | (equation 1)

x - y = 6 | (equation 2)

Add 1/8 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{-(8 x) + 9 y = -29 | (equation 1)

0 x+y/8 = 19/8 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 8:

{-(8 x) + 9 y = -29 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 19 | (equation 2)

Subtract 9 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{-(8 x)+0 y = -200 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 19 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by -8:

{x+0 y = 25 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 19 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer:  {x = 25 , y = 19
