Answer:

x = 17     y= -38

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = -21

y = x - 55

It doesn't matter whether x or y is 55 less than the other right now.

<u>substitute for y:</u>

x + x - 55 = -21

<u>solve for x:</u>

2x = 34

x = 17

<u>solve for y:</u>

17 + y = -21

y = -38

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are 1 and −5, and whose leading coefficient is 4.
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Standard Form: y = 4(x-1)(x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

4 is the leading coefficient, so it should go in front. When making a standard quadratic equation, you must do the opposite for each of the roots (negative to positive, positive to negative.)

if you’re asking for a general form quadratic equation, then sorry, I am unable to help you with that :(
