Question

Which steps could be part of the process in algebraically solving the system of equations, y 5x = x2 10 and y = 4x – 10? select two options. y = x2 5x 10 y 5x = x2 10 4x – 10 0 = x2 – 9x 0 = x2 – 9x 20 one x-value of a solution to the system is 4.

Answer 1

Answer:

That would be :

4x – 10 = x2 – 5x + 10  ( y = 4x - 10 is substitute for y)

PROOF:        y + 5x = x² + 10

                    (4x - 10) + 5x = x² + 10

                     4x - 10  =  x² -5x + 10

   0 = x2 – 9x + 20  (liked terms are grouped and simplified)

PROOF:      4x - 10  =  x² -5x + 10

                  4x = x² -5x + 10 + 10

                   0  = x² -5x -4x + 20

                   0  = x² - 9x + 20

Solving:

            x² - 9x + 20 = 0

            x² - 5x - 4x + 20 = 0

            (x - 5) (x - 4)  = 0

         ⇒ x = 4  (as question says) OR x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:
