Answer:

Lesser is -7

Step-by-step explanation:

x(x+4) = 21

Distribute

x^2 + 4x = 21

x^2 + 4x - 21 = 0

x^2 + 7x - 3x -21 = 0

What is the best first step for solving the given system using substitution while avoiding fractions? =9x+4x=10 -9x+3y=3
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

  Solve for y in the second equation

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your system is ...

  • -9x +4y = 10
  • -9x +3y = 3

Dividing <em>the </em><em>second equation</em> by 3 gives ...

  -3x +y = 1

so an expression for y without fractions can be found by <em>solving for y</em>, that is, by adding 3x:

  y = 3x +1

_____

<em>Comment on alternate solution</em>

We'd be tempted to solve the first equation for -9x and substitute for that.

  -9x = 10 -4y

  (10 -4y) +3y = 3 . . . . . substitute for -9x

  -y = -7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify, subtract 10

  y = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by -1
