Question

I need a step by step explanation how to solve for the solutions of this (Not by graphing)

Answer 1

Answer:

(0, 15) and (11, 48)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = x² - 8x + 15 → (1)

y = 3x + 15 → (2)

Substitute y = x² - 8x + 15 into (2)

x² - 8x + 15 = 3x + 15 ( subtract 3x + 15 from both sides )

x² - 11x = 0 ← in standard form

x(x - 11) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x = 0

x - 11 = 0 ⇒ x = 11

Substitute these values into (2) for corresponding values of y

x = 0 : y = 0 + 15 = 15 ⇒ (0, 15)

x = 11 : y = 33 + 15 = 48 ⇒ (11, 48)

Solutions are (0, 15), (11, 48)
