PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE MEDAL y^2 + x ^2 = 40000 y = 5x + 2 I need to solve using substitution
Just plug in the value of y as 5x + 2 Then operate as asked
Do you understand
i did then i got lost
@chrisvillasmil: Please show what you have done so far, up to the point where you "got lost." What kind of help do you need to progress beyond that point?
i didnt know what to do after i got to 26x^2 + 20x + 4 = 40000
First, please square both sides of y as 5x + 2 and show your result, below.
just use the quadratic formula and plug in the values
(25x^2 + 20x + 4) + x^2 = 40000
Much better! Plesae now remove the parentheses and combine like terms. Move that 40000 from the right side to the left side of your equation.
Do you know the quadratic formula??
40000 = 26x^2 + 20x + 4
yes i do @Rohith15
Then whats the problem Just plug in the values
oh thats right i completley forgot i could do that. thanks @Rohith15
This problem requires SOLVING the given system of equations, NOT "plugging in the values." What are the solutions? Please be sure to check your solutions.
