put
\[x^2+3=x+5\] and solve the quadratic equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I tried that and I know my answer is wrong because it doesn't make any sense
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
x=-1,x=2
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
y=x+5 so put this value of y in the second equation,y=x^2+3
x+5=x^2+3
x^2-x-2=0
now middle term breaking
x^2-2x+x-2=0
now take x common from the first part
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
and 1 from the second part
so it is ,x(x-2)+1(x-2)=0
(x-2)(x+1)=0
x=2or x=-1
