Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
When you substitute x = 3 to both equations, you get y = -4 for both so that is a solution
Roots stems finite solution
Y = x² + 7x - 4
y = -x - 4
x² + 7x - 4 = -x - 4
+ x + x
x² + 8x - 4 = -4
+ 4 + 4
x² + 8x = 0
x(x) + x(8) = 0
x(x + 8) = 0
x = 0 or x + 8 = 0
- 8 - 8
x = -8
y = -x - 4
y = -0 - 4
y = 0 - 4
y = -4
(x, y) = (0, -4)
or
y = -x - 4
y = -(-8) - 4
y = 8 - 4
y = 4
(x, y) = (-8, 4)
The solutions are (0, -4) and (8, -4).
