can someone show me how to solve this look at the picture please

substitute y=x-6 in the first equation and then solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=y+6?

OpenStudy (ankit042):

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

OpenStudy (ankit042):

@wequess2 did you understood the concept or are stuck somewhere?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=√y+2+10 ?

OpenStudy (ankit042):

x-6+2 = (x-4)^2/4 4x-16=x^2+16-8x x^2-12x-32=0 now solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which problem am i using?

OpenStudy (ankit042):

meaning? We are putting value of y from second equation to the first equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused

OpenStudy (ankit042):

In the question you see two equations...Now can you write y in terms of x from equation 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=x-6 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and put it in the first equation?

OpenStudy (ankit042):

Yes exactly! I have simplified the first equation are substituting the value of y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then the equation should be y + 2 = 1/4(x-6 − 4)^2?

OpenStudy (ankit042):

No you have to replace value of y not x. In the first step we found y=x-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so x-6+2=1/4(x-4)^2?

OpenStudy (ankit042):

yes good!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=4,8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now how do i find the second numbers?

OpenStudy (ankit042):

Now you can use the previous equation y=x-6 to find the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 8=4-6

OpenStudy (ankit042):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh! ok!

OpenStudy (ankit042):

Hope it was helpful and you got the answers!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep thank you very much!!!!
