Question

Solve the system using elimination. y=-x-3 y=x2-15

Answer 1

Answer:

X=4, y=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

To use elimination method, you want to cancel x or y when adding the equations together. So let’s multiply the first equation by -2

2(y)=2(-x-3)

2y=-2x-6

——————

add above equation 2y=-2x-6

to second equation    Y=2x-15

add together.           3y=-21

                                   Y=-7

—————————————-

solve for x by substituting y value (7) into either equation

y=-x-3

-7=-x-3

-4=-x

4=x
