Answer:
4/125
Step-by-step explanation:
X + y = 17
x - y = 29
x = 17 - y
x - y = 29
x = 17 - y
17 - y - y = 29
x = 17 - y
17 - 2y = 29
x = 17 - y
- 2y = 29 - 17
x = 17 - y
-2y = 12
x = 17 - y
y = -6
x = 17 - (-6)
y = -6
x = 17 + 6
y = -6
x = 23
y = -6
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
x = [ -15 ± √((15)^2 - 4(2)(4)) ] / ( 2(2) )
x = [-15 ± √(225 - (32) ) ] / ( 4 )
x = [-15 ± √(193) ] / ( 4)
x = [-15 ± sqrt(193) ] / ( 4 )
x = -15/4 ± sqrt(193)/4
The answers are -15/4 + sqrt(193)/4 and -15/4 - sqrt(193)/4.
