Isolate one variable in the system of equations. Use substitution to create a one-variable equation. Then, set the quadratic equation equal to zero and find the discriminant. If the discriminant is negative, then there are no real number solutions. If the discriminant is zero, then there is one real number solution. If the discriminant is positive, then there are two real number solutions.
Answer:
66
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in 5 for x
16 + 10(5)
16 + 50 = 66
9a - 3(a - 6) = -6...distribute thru the parenthesis
9a - 3a + 18 = -6....subtract 18 from both sides
9a - 3a = -6 - 18 ...combine like terms
6a = - 24...divide both sides by 6
a = -24/6
a = - 4
