If you would like to solve the system of equations, you can do this using the following steps:
4x^2 + 9y^2 = 72
2x - y = 4 ... 2x - 4 = y
_________
<span>4x^2 + 9y^2 = 72
</span><span>4x^2 + 9 * (2x - 4)^2 = 72
</span>4x^2 + 9 * (4x^2 - 16x + 16) = 72
4x^2 + 36x^2 - 144x + 144 = 72
40x^2 - 144x + 144 - 72 = 0
40x^2 - 144x + 72 = 0
10x^2 - 36x + 18 = 0
5x^2 - 18x + 9 = 0
(5x - 3) * (x - 3) = 0
1. 5x - 3 = 0 ... 5x = 3 ... x = 3/5
2. x = 3
<span>1. y = 2x - 4 = 2 * 3/5 - 4 = 6/5 - 20/5 = -14/5
2. y = 2x - 4 = 2 * 3 - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2
1. (x, y) = (3/5, -14/5)
2. (x, y) = (3, 2)
The correct result would be </span>(3/5, -14/5) and <span>(3, 2).</span>
Answer:
System A has 4 real solutions.
System B has 0 real solutions.
System C has 2 real solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
System A:
x^2 + y^2 = 17 eq(1)
y = -1/2x eq(2)
Putting value of y in eq(1)
x^2 +(-1/2x)^2 = 17
x^2 + 1/4x^2 = 17
5x^2/4 -17 =0
Using quadratic formula:

a = 5/4, b =0 and c = -17

Finding value of y:
y = -1/2x


System A has 4 real solutions.
System B
y = x^2 -7x + 10 eq(1)
y = -6x + 5 eq(2)
Putting value of y of eq(2) in eq(1)
-6x + 5 = x^2 -7x + 10
=> x^2 -7x +6x +10 -5 = 0
x^2 -x +5 = 0
Using quadratic formula:

a= 1, b =-1 and c =5

Finding value of y:
y = -6x + 5
y = -6(\frac{1\pm\sqrt{19}i}{2})+5
Since terms containing i are complex numbers, so System B has no real solutions.
System B has 0 real solutions.
System C
y = -2x^2 + 9 eq(1)
8x - y = -17 eq(2)
Putting value of y in eq(2)
8x - (-2x^2+9) = -17
8x +2x^2-9 +17 = 0
2x^2 + 8x + 8 = 0
2x^2 +4x + 4x + 8 = 0
2x (x+2) +4 (x+2) = 0
(x+2)(2x+4) =0
x+2 = 0 and 2x + 4 =0
x = -2 and 2x = -4
x =-2 and x = -2
So, x = -2
Now, finding value of y:
8x - y = -17
8(-2) - y = -17
-16 -y = -17
-y = -17 + 16
-y = -1
y = 1
So, x= -2 and y = 1
System C has 2 real solutions
