Answer:
The answer to your question is the last option
Step-by-step explanation:
Quadratic equation
2 = - x + x² - 4
Order the equation from the highest power to the lowest power. Do not consider 2 because it is not consider in the options given.
x² - x - 4 = 0
Identify a, b and c
(1) x² -(1) x - 4 = 0
a = 1 b = -1 c = - 6
Substitution
So we have the system of equations:
equation (1)
equation (2)
To use substitution, we are going to solve for one variable in one of our equations, and then we are going to replace that value in the other equation:
Solving for
in equation (2):
equation (3)
Replacing equation (3) in equation (1):
equation (4)
Replacing equation (4) in equation (3):
We can conclude that the solution of our system of equations is <span>(7/5, 21/10)</span>
