I will solve this equation simultaneously by Substitution.

- x + y = 2
5x + 4y = 17

Solve - x + y = 2 for y:
- x + y + x = 2 + x (here we add x to both sides)
y = x + 2

Substitute x + 2 for y in 5x + 4y = 17
5x + 4y = 17
5x + 4(x + 2) = 17
5x + 4x + 8 = 17
9x + 8 = 17 (simplify both sides of the equation)
9x + 8 + (-8) = 17 + (-8) (add -8 to both sides)
9x = 9
9x/9 = 9/9 (divide both sides by 9)

x = 1

Substitute 1 for x in y = x + 2
y = x + 2
y = 1 + 2
y = 3 ( simplify both sides of the equation)

Therefore x = 1 and y = 3

Solve by using the quadratic formula:<br> x2 - 6x + 7 = 0
IgorC [24]

Final Answer: x = 3 + \sqrt{2}, 3 - \sqrt{2}

Steps/Reasons/Explanation:

Question: Solve by using the quadratic formula:  x^{2}  - 6x + 7 = 0.

<u>Step 1</u>: Use the Quadratic Formula.

x = \frac{6 + \sqrt[2]{2} }{2}, \frac{6 - \sqrt[2]{2} }{2}

<u>Step 2</u>: Simplify solutions.

x = 3 + \sqrt{2}, 3 - \sqrt{2}

~I hope I helped you :)~ The quadratic formulaic is attached in an image.

Somebody help me with this ASAP!!!! IT'S DUE TOMORROW!! Btw the question is: The figures in each pair have the same perimeter. F
N76 [4]
So if the perimeters are equal then you know 
   Rectangle                   Triangle 
x + x + x + 4 + x + 4 =  x + x + 9 + x + 5

which becomes 
       
   4x + 8 = 3x + 14

now you can solve the equation for x, then find the perimeters

It'd be A since dividing on a negative coefficient results flipping the sign of the inequality and results in a different impact
