find the solutions to the system y=x^2+8x+2 y=x+4 a. (-2,-10) and (1,11) b. (2,10) and (-1,-11) c.(-2,-34) and (1,11) d.No solutions

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

using 'y=x+4' you can substitute x+4 into y=x^2+8x+2 for y and solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand..

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

What he means is that in the first equation replace "y" with "x+4"!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So x+4=x^2+8x+2?

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

Exactly!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 2 from 4 and get x+2=x^2+8x?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

i would subtract x from both sides and then subtract 4 from both sides. tell me what is the result of your subtractions after you do this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whats x- x^2?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am going back on the x+4=x^2+8x+2

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

x+4- (x+4) =x^2+8x+2 - (x+4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im lost. now.

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

x+4-(x+4)= x^2+8x+2-(x+4) IS 0=x^2+7x-2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it (-2,-10) and (1,11)
