Algebra.Com's Answer #51995 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve this equation :x^2-2x+2=y and 4x-7=y to find x and y \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Since they both = y, you can write it: \n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 2x + 2 = 4x - 7 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 2x - 4x + 2 + 7 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 6x + 9 = 0 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Factor this to: \n" ); document.write( "(x-3)(x-3) = 0 \n" ); document.write( "x = + 3 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Substitute 3 for x to find y: \n" ); document.write( "y = 3^2 - 2(3) + 2 \n" ); document.write( "y = 9 - 6 + 2 \n" ); document.write( "y = 5 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Do the same in y = 4x - 7 \n" ); document.write( "y = 4(3) - 7 \n" ); document.write( "y = 12 - 7 \n" ); document.write( "y = 5 also \n" ); document.write( " |
