Math Problem Statement

Solve the system of equations: 2x^2 - 3x - y = -5 and -x + y = 5.

Solution

The system of equations in the image is:

1)2x23xy=51) \quad 2x^2 - 3x - y = -5 x+y=5-x + y = 5

To solve this system, we can use substitution or elimination. I'll start by solving the second equation for yy and substituting it into the first equation.

From the second equation: x+y=5y=x+5-x + y = 5 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = x + 5

Now substitute this expression for yy into the first equation: 2x23x(x+5)=52x^2 - 3x - (x + 5) = -5

Simplifying: 2x23xx5=52x^2 - 3x - x - 5 = -5 2x24x5=52x^2 - 4x - 5 = -5 2x24x=02x^2 - 4x = 0 Factor the equation: 2x(x2)=02x(x - 2) = 0

Thus, x=0x = 0 or x=2x = 2.

Case 1: x=0x = 0

Substitute x=0x = 0 into y=x+5y = x + 5: y=0+5=5y = 0 + 5 = 5

So one solution is (x,y)=(0,5)(x, y) = (0, 5).

Case 2: x=2x = 2

Substitute x=2x = 2 into y=x+5y = x + 5: y=2+5=7y = 2 + 5 = 7

So the second solution is (x,y)=(2,7)(x, y) = (2, 7).

Solutions:

The system has two solutions: (0,5)and(2,7)(0, 5) \quad \text{and} \quad (2, 7)
