Question

solve quadratic equations
y=2x-16 y=2^2-3x-12

Answer 1

I would use either the quadratic formula, or set the equations equal to zero and factor to find the solution.

Answer 2

Is this a system of equations?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

okay, so in the first equation y is solved for. So take that expression (2x-16) and plug it into the second equation where y is

Also, is it supposed to be 2x^2 in the second equation?

Answer 5

y=x^2-3x-12

Answer 6

Alright, so put 2x-16 where y is

2x-16=x^2-3x-12

can you try to solve for x now?
