Answer:
(x, y) = (-1, -16) or (3, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Perhaps you want to solve the system of equations ...
- y = x^2 +2x -15
- y -4x = -12
Substituting the first expression for y into the second equation gives ...
x^2 +2x -15 -4x = -12
x^2 -2x -3 = 0 . . . . . . . . add 12
(x -3)(x +1) = 0 . . . . . . . factor
Solutions are the values of x that make the factors zero: x = 3, x = -1.
The corresponding values of y are ...
y = -12 +4x
y = -12 +4{-1, 3} = -12 +{-4, 12} = {-16, 0}
The solutions to the system are ...
(x, y) = (-1, -16) or (3, 0)
