Step-by-step explanation:

We will solve this system of equations using two methods: elimination and substitution.

Method 1: Elimination

2x - y = -8. #1

-5x + y = 26. #2

Note that by adding these two equations, the y-variable is eliminated (thus the name) and you're only left with an equation with one variable. So upon adding, we get

-3x = 18 or x = -6

Using this value for x, put this back in either one of the equations. Let's use the 2nd one.

-5(-6) + y = 26

--> 30 + y = 26

Moving 30 to the right side, we get y = -4.

Method 2: Substitution

This is done by isolating one variable to the left side in one equation and then using it on the other equation. Let's take equation #2 and put the y-variable on the left side and you should get

y = 5x + 26

Now use this equation and plug it into the y in equation #1:

2x - (5x + 26) = -8

--> 2x - 5x - 26 = -8

--> -3x = 26 - 8 = 18 or <u>x</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>6</u><u>.</u>

Use this value for x into either one of the equations. Let's use equation #1 this time.

2(-6) - y = -8

--> -12 + 8 = y or <u>y</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-4</u><u>.</u>

Notice that using either method will give you the same result, as one might expect.

Consider the quadratic equation x2=4x-5. How many solutions does the equation have
Norma-Jean [14]
The quadratic formula is =(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a
as you notice the term under the square root is b^2-4ac if it is postive then the equation clearly will have two real soultions if it is negative then the equation will have two imaginary soultion if it is zero then the the equation will have one soultion
so let us calculate b^2-4ac for our given equation
x^2=4x-5 so let us write it in general form which is ax^2+bx+c=0
subtracting 4x from both sides
x^2-4x=-5
adding 5 to both sides
x^2-4x+5=0
a=1,b=-4,c=5
b^2-4ac=(-4)^2-4(1)(5)=16-20=-4
which means the equation has two imaginary soultions
