It should be |-80+15|=65 units because absolute value makes it positive.

x
=
−
2
,
y
=
−
4
Explanation:
Right now, you have:
4
x
−
y
=
−
4

5
x
+
2
y
=
−
18
To make this easier, you must get rid of one variable, in this case I will remove
y
, to do this you must make the y-values in both equations the same.
To do this, I will multiply the whole of
4
x
−
y
=
−
4
by 2 to give
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8
We now have:
8
x
−
2
y
=
−
8

5
z
+
2
y
=
−
18
All we need to do now is
(
8
x
−
2
y
+
5
x
+
2
y
)
=
(
−
18
−
8
)
≡
13
x
=
−
26
.
Divide both sides by 13 to find
x
:
13
x
=
−
26

13
x
13
=
−
26
13

x
=
−
2
Now put your value for
x
into either equation:
4
(
−
2
)
−
y
=
−
4

−
8
−
y
=
−
4

y
=
−
8
+
4

y
=
−
4
x
=
−
2
;
y
=
−
4

(x+6)(x-2)(x-1)=60 write a polynomial

enot [183]

For this case what you should do is:
1) Multiplication of terms within parentheses correctly.
2) Rewrite the expression respecting power properties.
3) Add or subtract terms of equal power.
Note: See attached image.
Answer:
x ^ 3 + 3x ^ 2 -16x - 48 = 0
