3(x-1) = 2x - y
3x-3 = 2x-y
3x-2x+y = 3
x + y = 3 ----> (1)
2(x+y) = 3+3y
2x + 2y = 3 + 3y
2x + 2y - 3y = 3
2x - y = 3 -----> (2)
make equation (1) and (2) together
x + y + 2x - y = 3+3
3x = 6
x = 2
now make x = 2 in equation (1)
x + y = 3
2 + y = 3
y = 3-2
y = 1
(x,y) = (2,1)
A = -16 b = 0 c = 541
Use the quadratic formula which is
x = [-b +- sq root (b^2 -4*a*c)] / 2*a
x = [-0 +-sq root (0 -4*-16*541)] / 2 * -16
x = + - sq root (0 -4*-16*541) / -32
x = + - sq root (34,624) / -32
x = + - 186.075 / -32
x1 = 186.075 / -32 =

9/4
well, 4 times 2 is 8, there would be a quarter left over
answer: 2 1/4
so it would be 2 and a quarter.
Hope this helped :)
