$\bf \begin{cases}
-2x-7y=22\\
-7x-5y=-1
\end{cases}\qquad \textit{let's solve the \underline{second one} for "x"}
\\\\\\
-7x-5y=-1\implies -7x=5y-1\implies x=\cfrac{5y-1}{-7}
\\\\\\
\boxed{x=\cfrac{1-5y}{7}}\impliedby \textit{now, let's substitute it in the \underline{first one}}
\\\\\\$

$\bf -2\left( \frac{1-5y}{7} \right)-7y=22\implies \cfrac{10y-2}{7}-7y=22
\\\\\\
\textit{now, let's multiply both sides by 7, to toss the denominator}
\\\\\\
7\left( \cfrac{10y-2}{7}-7y \right)=7(22)\implies 10y-2-49y=154
\\\\\\
-39y=156\implies y=\cfrac{154}{-39}\implies \boxed{y=-4}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, let's use that in the \underline{first one}}
\\\\\\
-2x-7(-4)=22\implies -2x+28=22\implies 6=2x\implies \cfrac{6}{2}=x
\\\\\\
\boxed{3=x}$

Jackson used the process of completing the square to solve the equation 2x2−12x=−6.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

$x=3-\sqrt{6},x=3+\sqrt{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given equation as

$2x^2-12x=-6$

Since, we have to solve it by using complete square

so, firstly we will complete square

and then we can solve for x

step-1:

Factor 2 from both sides

$2(x^2-6x)=-3\times 2$

step-2:

Simplify it

$x^2-6x=-3$

step-3:

Add both sides 3^2

$x^2-6x+3^2=-3+3^2$

now, we can complete square

$(x-3)^2=6$

step-4:

Take sqrt both sides

$(x-3)=-\sqrt{6},(x-3)=\sqrt{6}$

step-5:

Add both sides by 3

we get

$x=3-\sqrt{6},x=3+\sqrt{6}$

What is the solution to this equation?

Fantom [35]

Answer:

x=-17

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Equation;

x+12=-5

The 12 will cross the equal sign so it will become -12. So it's going to be;

x=-5-12

There are two negative number so you add them and when you add them it would still be negative. And you would have to add them because when there are two negative numbers without any other sign you will have to add so it's going to be;

x=-17

This is the final answer!!!
