Question

Solve the equation (y+2/y)^2 + 3(y+2/y) = 4 using substitution method.

Answer 1

hmm do you know what the substitution method is?

Answer 2

yea

Answer 3

what is it i honestly forgot..

Answer 4

hmm i was reading that its when you have 2 variables, solve for one, then sub tht one into the other..

Answer 5

yea i was gettin u an exact definition

Answer 6

ok ok

Answer 7

well we could say that (y+2/y) ^2 = 1

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

if you notice that would solve it.

Answer 10

actually no nvm

Answer 11

thats not right... lol i can solve it how i normally would but not sure what they mean by substiution

Answer 12

ohh maybe they want you to say

x= (y + 2) / y

and that

x^2 + 3x = 4

Answer 13

x^2 +3x -4 = 0

Answer 14

ughh no clue

Answer 15

(x +4) (x - 1) = 0

Answer 16

so x = -4
or x = 1

Answer 17

well whats x?

Answer 18

we said that in the begining

Answer 19

x= (y + 2) / y

Answer 20

(y + 2) / y = 4

and

(y + 2) / y = -1

Answer 21

solve for y

Answer 22

that used substituion cause i subbed in y for x =)

Answer 23

wait which one is right

Answer 24

there are two possible answers tht satifiy the equation
