Well, we can input both variables to check and see if the numbers hold.
-691 = -51(-15) - 74
-691 = 765-64
-691 = 701
(-15, -691) does not make the equation true.

I think thats the answer
Answer:
(- 5, 1 )
Step-by-step explanation:
- 6x - 14y = 16 → (1)
- 2x + 7y = 17 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term
6x - 21y = - 51 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x
0 - 35y = - 35
- 35y = - 35 ( divide both sides by - 35 )
y = 1
Substitute y = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
- 6x - 14(1) = 16
- 6x - 14 = 16 ( add 14 to both sides )
- 6x = 30 ( divide both sides by - 6 )
x = - 5
solution is (- 5, 1 )
Answer:
x = 144
Step-by-step explanation:
What you need to remember about this geometry is that all of the triangles are similar. As with any similar triangles, that means ratios of corresponding sides are proportional. Here, we can write the ratios of the long leg to the short leg and set them equal to find x.
x/60 = 60/25
Multiply by 60 to find x:
x = (60·60)/25
x = 144

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>
You may have noticed that the above equation can be written in the form ...
60 = √(25x)
That is, the altitude from the hypotenuse (60) is equal to the geometric mean of the lengths into which it divides the hypotenuse (25 and x).
This same sort of "geometric mean" relation holds for other parts of this geometry, as well. The short leg of the largest triangle (the hypotenuse of the one with legs 25 and 60) is the geometric mean of the short hypotenuse segment (25) and the total hypotenuse (25+x).
And, the long leg of the large triangle (the hypotenuse of the one with legs 60 and x) is the geometric mean of the long hypotenuse segment (x) and the total hypotenuse (25+x).
While it can be a shortcut in some problems to remember these geometric mean relationships, you can always come up with what you need by simply remembering that the triangles are all similar.
The x intercept occurs when y = 0.
0=(x+2)^2 - 1
1=(x+2)^2
Take the square root of both sides. Note that the sqrt of 1 is 1. Then solve for x.
1=x+2
-1=x
The x intercept is -1.
The y intercept occurs when x=0.
y=(0+2)^2 - 1
y=2^2 -1
y=4-1
y=3
The y intercept is 3.
Now, to find the vertex...
This parabola is currently in a format called the vertex form, which is:
f(x) = (x-h)^2 + k
where (h, k) is the vertex.
Therefore, the vertex is (-2, -1).
