X=-1 and y=3
To solve this, because y is equal to 2x+5, you can substitute 2x+5 into the bottom equation for y.
You now have 3x - (2x + 5) =-6
This can be solved like a normal equation. Multiply each term in the parenthesis by -1.
3x - 2x - 5 = -6
Subtract 2x from 3x
x - 5 = -6
Add 5 to both sides
x=-1
Now you can solve for y by plugging -1 in for x in either equation. Im going to use the top one.
y= 2(-1)+5
y= -2+5
y=3
You can check your answer by plugging in the values for x and y into both equations and making sure both sides equal each other.
I would say 13 3/4 but dont take me for my word
Answer:
a = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
x-1 = 0
x = 1
let x³ + ax² -x -8 be p(x)
hence, p(1) = (1)³ + a(1)² -1 -8 = 0 (since, x-1 is a factor)
= 1 + a - 1-8
= a - 8 = 0
therefore, a = 8
