The number is x
it is negative
the square is 28 more than 3 times itself
x²=28+3x
minus (28+3x)
x²-3x-28=0
factor
(x-7)(x+4)=0
set to zero
x-7=0
x=7
this is not the answer because we were told the number was negative
x+4=0
x=-4
correct
the number is -4
test
(-4)²=28+3(-4)
16=28-12
16=16
check
the number is -4
-3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20
multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.
(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20
Now we have:
-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14
Divide -2 on both sides.
-2x = -14
/-2 /-2
x = -7.
=============================================
To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20
4x + 2y = 20
4(-7) + 2y = 20
-28 + 2y = 20
Add 28 on both sides
-28 + 2y = 20
+28 +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2 /2
y = 24.
The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.
You may have to do this by yourself :P
