Answer:

(-5, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Elimination seems like the best method to use here.

x+y=-2

x-y=-8

---------

2x=-10

Divide everything by two

x=-5

Now plug it back into one of the original equations,

-5+y=-2

Add 5 to everything

y=3

Answer:

The solution is (-5, 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have been told to solve this system of linear equations, start out by adding them together.  The y terms then drop out, and we obtain:

2x = -10, implying that x = -5.

Selecting the first equation as our starting point in finding y:

-5 + y = -2.

We need to isolate y.  To do this, add 5 to both sides:

y = -2 + 5, or y = 3.

Then the solution is (-5, 3).

X^2+ 6x - 4 = 3x + 6
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

x=2

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to get everything on one side to have a quadratic equation:

x^2+6x-4 -(3x+6) = x^2+3x-10

All factors of 10 are 1*10 and 2*5.

5-2 = 3 and 5*-2 = -10

Factoring x^2+3x-10 gives us (x-2)(x+5)

x=2

x=-5
