Answer:

Hello :

y = 2x² - x -6

y = 2 ( x² - 1/2 x - 3)

y = 2 (x² -1/2 x + 1/16 -1/16 -3)

y = 2 (( x - 1/4 )² - 49/16).....  the quadratic formula

y = 0 :  ( x - 1/4 )² - 49/16 = 0

( x - 1/4 )² - (7/4)² = 0

( x -1/4-7/4)( x -1/4+7/4)=0

(x -2)(x + 3/2) = 0

x - 2 = 0 or x + 3/2 =0

x = 2 or x = - 3/2

One number is five less than a second number. Five times the first is 15 more than 6 times the second. Find the numbers
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

x = -45, y = -40

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the first clue, we find out that

x + 5 = y

5x = 6y + 15

We can re-write the first equation to x = y - 5.

Therefore, the second equation can also be written as 5(y - 5) = 6y + 15

This can be simplified to 5y - 25 = 6y + 15

We can subtract 6y from each side, and add 25 to each side;

5y - 6y = 15 + 25

Therefore, -y = 40

Therefore y = -40.

Now let's plug this back into the original equation, to get : x  + 5 = -40

x=-45
