Now, before you think I'm just stealing points, let me explain. The square root of a number is the number that, if you multiply it by itself, it equals that number. The square root of 4 is 2, because 2 * 2 = 4.

Also, a negative number times another negative number, is a positive number. -2 * -2 = 4

With both of those true, then what number could be multiplied by itself to equal a negative number? i.

i is a weird number that I don't really know how to explain all that well. I am sorry, but that is all that I can give you. i is very complex and has various different equivalents, and different meanings, but i is equal to $\sqrt{-1}$ .

Hope that this helps!

Which expression gives the x-coordinate of the solution of the system?

aalyn [17]

To find the the expression that gives the value of $x$ we are going to proceed as follows:
$5x+3y=-18$ equation (1)
$2x-4y=-28$ equation (1)

Step 1. solve for $y$ in equation (2)
$2x-4y=-28$
$-4y=-28-2x$
$y= \frac{-28-2x}{-4}$
$y=7+ \frac{1}{2} x$ equation (3)

Step 3. Replace equation (3) in equation (1) and solve for $x$
$5x+3y=-18$
$5x+3(7+ \frac{1}{2} x)=-18$
$5x+21+ \frac{3}{2} x=-18$
$\frac{13}{2} x=-39$
$x= \frac{-39(2)}{(13)}$
$x=-6$

We can conclude that the expression that gives the value of $x$ is: $x=-6$
