Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"Two times one number added to three times a second number is 21.

2x + 3y = 21

"The second number is ten less than five times the first number"

y = 5x-10

Substitution

2x+3(5x-10) = 21

2x + 15x - 30 = 21

17x = 51

x = 3

y = 5x-10 = 5

A quadratic equation is one in which the highest exponent of x is 2.
$7x^2+14x=0$ is quadratic; the highest exponent is 2.
x³-3x²+1=0 is NOT quadratic. The highest exponent of x is 3, not 2.
5x-7=0 is NOT quadratic. The highest exponent of x is 1, not 2.
x²+3x-5=0 is quadratic; the highest exponent of x is 2.
x-5=9x+7 is NOT quadratic. The highest exponent of x is 1, not 2.
x²-x=3x+7 is quadratic; the highest exponent of x is 2.
