So first of all you need to plug in the x=8 into both equations which will make the first equation be equals to 44 than plug in the x into the second equation and you will get 4 over -1 so in my opinion it should be b=44

Answer:
y =
OR y = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Our quadratic equation is: (5y + 6)² = 24.
The first step is to square root both sides:
5y + 6 = ±√24 = ±2√6
Now subtract 6 from both sides:
5y = ±2√6 - 6
Finally divide by 5 from both sides:
y =
OR y = 
And, those are the solutions to the equation.
