So step one is to distribute the 4x through and the -5 through. After distributing you get 8x^{2}+28x-15x+10. Combine the like terms, 28x and -15x, to get 13x. Your answer is 8x^{2}+13x+10
so
6s+2l = 28
4s+5l= 37
eliminate 6s+2l=28 by dividing all numbers by 6
u get s= -1/3 l + 14/3
49-1/3l=14/3) + 5l =37
L=5
s= -1/3(5) + 14/3
s=3
l=5
You just have to rearrange the problem and solve. The answer is -15/4
