Answer:
y = 10
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
4y - 3 = 37
4y = 37 + 3
4y = 40
y = 40 / 4
y = 10
3x - 9 = 42
3x = 42 + 9
3x = 51
x = 51 / 3
x = 17

You start from negative 7 in number line and you go left 4
A good place to start is to set
to y. That would mean we are looking for
to be an integer. Clearly,
, because if y were greater the part under the radical would be a negative, making the radical an imaginary number, not an integer. Also note that since
is a radical, it only outputs values from
, which means y is on the closed interval:
.
With that, we don't really have to consider y anymore, since we know the interval that
is on.
Now, we don't even have to find the x values. Note that only 11 perfect squares lie on the interval
, which means there are at most 11 numbers that x can be which make the radical an integer. All of the perfect squares are easily constructed. We can say that if k is an arbitrary integer between 0 and 11 then:

Which is strictly positive so we know for sure that all 11 numbers on the closed interval will yield a valid x that makes the radical an integer.

Answer:
4x + 4y - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x - 2 +y) = 4*x -4*2 + 4*y by the distributive property
