An exponent of zero automatically means the answer will beone, so the first tow will be one.
I would need diagrams or additional information to solve theangles.
As for the equations, put them through the quadraticformula:
x = b ± b 2 4 a c 2 a x = 1 ± 1 4 ( 1 ) ( 12 ) 2 x = ( 1 ± 49 2 1 ± 7 2
3 and -4
Number Two is not a quadratic equation, it is a linearequation and is solved differently.
To use substitution:
y = 2x +1 y= x - 7
Take the definition of the variable y (x - 7) and put it intothe other eqution.
x - 7 = 2x + 1
Simplify
-8 = x
x = -8
Now plug that into the equation:
y = -8 - 7
y = -15
The answer is (-8, -15)
