Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x² +21x-61 = (x+7)²
expand
2x² + 21x - 61 = x² + 14x +49
move everything to one side
x² + 7x - 12 = 0
use quadratic formula
plug in the values
solve

Solve the following system:{12 x = 54 - 6 y | (equation 1)-17 x = -6 y - 62 | (equation 2)
Express the system in standard form:{12 x + 6 y = 54 | (equation 1)-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)12 x + 6 y = 54 | (equation 2)
Add 12/17 × (equation 1) to equation 2:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)0 x+(174 y)/17 = 174/17 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 17/174:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Subtract 6 × (equation 2) from equation 1:{-(17 x)+0 y = -68 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by -17:{x+0 y = 4 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Collect results:Answer: {x = 4 {y = 1
Please note the { are supposed to span over both equations but it interfaces doesn't allow it. Please see attachment for clarification.
