Solve the system: y=2x+1 and x^2 + y^2 =25. Do I do this with graphing or substitution? Please provide solution
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitution:
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + (2x+1)^2 = 25
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 4x^2 + 4x + 1 = 25
\n" ); document.write( "5x^2 +4x - 24 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = [-4+-sqrt(16 - 4*5*-24)]/10
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = [-4 +- sqrt(496)]/10
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = [-4 +- 4sqrt(31)]/10
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = [-2+2sqrt(31)]/5 or x = [-2-2sqrt(31)]/5
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1.8271 or x = -2.6271
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the y-value associated with each of these x-values.
