He made a mistake in step #2. It seemed to be a trivial mistake because it involved signs, but it still had a great impact. Since step#2, his solution was already wrong.
Instead of
(-1)²-4(2)(-6) = 1 + 48 = 49
What he did is
(-1)²-4(2)(-6) = -1 + 48 = 47
Answer:
Infinite amount of solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
4(3x + 3) = 15x + 7 - 3x + 5
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Distribute 4: 12x + 12 = 15x + 7 - 3x + 5
- Combine like terms: 12x + 12 = 12x + 12
- Subtract 12 on both sides: 12x = 12x
- Divide both sides by 12: x = x
Here, we can see that <em>x</em> would be infinite amount of solutions. We can plug in any number <em>x</em> and it would render the equation true.
The two integers are -3 and -10
I don't get how it would be a system of equations.
