-5x = - 7 because -6x plus x is -5x and use elimination to get rid of the -3y so you end up with -5x = -7
Answer:
(x + 9)(x - 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 + x - 72
= x^2 - 8x + 9x - 72
= (x^2 - 8x) + (9x - 72)
= x(x - 8) + 9(x - 8)
= (x + 9)(x - 8)
3y + 5x = -15
3y = -5x - 15 (Subtract 5x from both sides)
y = -5/3x - 5 (Divide everything by 3)
