Question

Solve the system of equations.

y = 3x
y = x2 - 10
A. (2,6) and (5, 15)
B. (2,6) and (-5, -15)
C. (-2,-6) and (-5, -15)
D. (-2,-6) and (5, 15)

Answer 1

D. (-2, -6) and (5,15)

Explanation:

When you set the equations together, you get x^2-3x-10. You then set this equation equal to zero and get (x-5)(x+2) or x=-2 and x=5. Then, plug these x-values into each equation to get your y-values.
