Question

Solve algebraically:
Y = x^2 + 5x - 17
Y = x - 5

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

What you could do is fill in 2 for the equation and y would equal -3 so for the first one it's like

y= 2^2 + 5(2) -17

y= 4 + 10 - 17 which turns into y= -3

In the second y it would be something like

y= 2 - 5 which would equal y= -3

so x=2
