It's a simple linear equation in 'y'. There is only one number that 'y' can be
that will make the equation a true statement. That number is called the
'solution' to the equation. Here's one way to find it:
You said that <u> 2 = y/5 - 8</u>
Add 8 to each side: 10 = y/5
Multiply each side by 5: <em> 50 = y</em>
a(x+1)(x-1)+b(x-2)(x+1)+(x+1)^2=9x^2-x-10
(x+1)(a(x-1)+b(x-2)+(x+1))=(x+1)(9x-10)
a(x-1)+b(x-2)+x+1=9x-10
Now this equation is much simpler!
(a+b)x-a-2b+x+1=9x-10
(a+b)x-a-2b=8x-11
(a+b-8)x-a-2b-11=0
a+b-8=(a+2b-11)/x
I can't solve it 3 variables and 1 equations means infinite answers so yea.
8x - 2y = -8
-5x + 2y = -1
3x = -9
x = -3
