[ Answer ]

X = -3

[ Explanation ]

Group Like Terms:

2x + 7x + 3 = -24

Add Similar Elements: 2x + 7x = 9x

9x + 3 = -24

Subtract 3 From Both Sides:

9x + 3 - 3 = (-24) - 3

Simplify:

9x = -24

Divide Both Sides By 9:

9x / 9 = -24 / 9

Simplify:

= -3

What are the solutions to the system of equations? {y=2x2+6x−10 y=−x+5

inessss [21]

Answer: x = -5, 3/2 y = 10, 7/2

Explanation:

y = 2x^2 + 6x - 10 (1)
y = - x + 5 (2)

=> 2x^2 + 6x - 10 = - x + 5
2x^2 - 7x - 15 = 0
(2x - 3)(x + 5) = 0
=> 2x - 3 = 0
2x = 3
x = 3/2
=> x + 5 = 0
x = -5

According to (2):

y = -x + 5
y = -(-5) + 5
y = 5 + 5 = 10

y = -x + 5
y = -(3/2) + 5
y = -(3/2) + 10/2
y = 7/2
