You could simplify this work by factoring "3" out of all four terms, as follows:
3(x^2 + 2x - 3) =3(0) = 0
Hold the 3 for later re-insertion. Focus on "completing the square" of x^2 + 2x - 3.
1. Take the coefficient (2) of x and halve it: 2 divided by 2 is 1
2. Square this result: 1^2 = 1
3. Add this result (1) to x^2 + 2x, holding the "-3" for later:
x^2 +2x
4 Subtract (1) from x^2 + 2x + 1: x^2 + 2x + 1 -3 -1 = 0,
or x^2 + 2x + 1 - 4 = 0
5. Simplify, remembering that x^2 + 2x + 1 is a perfect square:
(x+1)^2 - 4 = 0
We have "completed the square." We can stop here. or, we could solve for x: one way would be to factor the left side:
[(x+1)-2][(x+1)+2]=0 The solutions would then be:
x+1-2=0=> x-1=0, or x=1, and
x+1 +2 = 0 => x+3=0, or x=-3. (you were not asked to do this).
16+64=80 80*2=160
or it means
64/2=32 32+16= 48
or it means
64+16=80 80/2= 40
this is a horribly formatted question
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Just add the two equations together....this will eliminate 'x' and you can then solve for 'y'
Use this value of 'y' in one of the equations to calculate the value of 'x'

Answer:
$1,790
Step-by-step explanation:
159.00 x 10 = 1590
200 x 1 = 200
1590 + 200 = 1790
