2x+3y= -17 
5x+2y= -4
You must cancel either the x or y out to solve so i'm going to cancel the x. 
-5(2x+3y= -17)
2(5x+2y= -4)
This simplifies to: 
-15x -15y=85
15x+4y= -8
The -15x and 15x cancel out leaving you: 
-15y=85 
4y= -8
You add them top numbers by the bottom and get: 
-11y=77
Then divide by -11 to get y by its self.
y= -7
Now that you know what y is just plug it in to either original problem. I will use the second one. 
5x + 2(-7) = -4
5x -14 = -4
5x = 10 
x = 2
So the answer is (2,-7) or x=2 and y=-7

Solve for the roots in simplest form by completing the square <br><br> x^2-12x+20=0
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

x = 10 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 - 12 x + 20 = 0

Hint: | Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.

Subtract 20 from both sides:

x^2 - 12 x = -20

Hint: | Take one half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.

Add 36 to both sides:

x^2 - 12 x + 36 = 16

Hint: | Factor the left hand side.

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 6)^2 = 16

Hint: | Eliminate the exponent on the left hand side.

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 6 = 4 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

x = 10 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

Answer: x = 10 or x = 2
