Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write our Givens
Move the constant term ,(the term with no variable) to the right side.
Here we have a negative 7, so we add 7 to both sides
Next, we take the linear coeffeicent and divide it by 2 then square it.
Then we add that to both sides
Next, we factor the left,
we got 5 because 5 add to 10 and multiply to 25 as well.
so we get
This is called a perfect square trinomial.
Next, we take the square root of both sides
± menas that we have a positive and negative solution.
Subtract 5 form both side so we get
The greater solution is when sqr root of 32 is positive so the answer to that is
if we were to solve both equations for "y", we'd get
notice, the 1st equation is really the 2nd in disguise, since both lines are just pancaked on top of each other, every point in the lines is a solution or an intersection, and since both go to infinity, well, there you have it.
