can someone show me how to solve this look at the picture please
substitute y=x-6 in the first equation and then solve
x=y+6?
No there are 2 equations in the question we will use the substitution method to solve the equation. From the second equation we found value of y=x-6 . Now substitute this value of y in the first equation and solve for x
@wequess2 did you understood the concept or are stuck somewhere?
x=√y+2+10 ?
x-6+2 = (x-4)^2/4 4x-16=x^2+16-8x x^2-12x-32=0 now solve for x
which problem am i using?
meaning? We are putting value of y from second equation to the first equation
im confused
In the question you see two equations...Now can you write y in terms of x from equation 2
y=x-6 ?
and put it in the first equation?
Yes exactly! I have simplified the first equation are substituting the value of y
and then the equation should be y + 2 = 1/4(x-6 − 4)^2?
No you have to replace value of y not x. In the first step we found y=x-6
ok so x-6+2=1/4(x-4)^2?
yes good!
x=4,8?
now how do i find the second numbers?
Now you can use the previous equation y=x-6 to find the answer
so 8=4-6
NO! you will get two different value of Y for each X. first put x=4 and get one y then put x=8 to get other value
ohhh! ok!
Hope it was helpful and you got the answers!
yep thank you very much!!!!
You are welcome!
