Solve the system by using elementary row operations on the equations. Follow the systematic elimination procedure. x1 + 2 x 2 = -24
x1 + 7 x 2 = -11
Find the solution to the system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is expressed as

x1 + 2x2 = -24- - - - - - - - --1

x1 + 7x2 = -11- - - - - - - --2

We would eliminate x1 by subtracting equation 2 from equation 1. It becomes

- 5x2 = - 13

Dividing both sides of the equation by - 5, it becomes

- 5x2/- 5 = - 13/- 5

x2 = 13/5

Substituting x2 = 13/5 into equation 2, it becomes

x1 + 7 × 13/5 = -11

x1 + 91/5 = - 11

x1 = - 11 - 91/5

x1 = - 146/5

- 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4

step-by-step explanation:

each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor

x²(- 2x² + 4x - 1) - 3x(- 2x² + 4x - 1) + 4(- 2x² + 4x - 1) ← distribute

= - 2 + 4x³ - x² + 6x³ - 12x² + 3x -8x² + 16x - 4

collect like terms

= - 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4 ← in standard form
