Which of the following are solutions to the equation below? Check all that apply.
x2 + 4x-9 = 5x + 3
A. -3
B. 5
| C. 2
D. -4
E. 4
F-7

The answers are options A and E

x² + 4x-9 = 5x + 3

Group like terms

x² + 4x - 5x - 9 - 3 = 0

x² - x - 12 = 0

Using factorization method

(x + 3)( x - 4) = 0

x = - 3 x = 4

Hope this helps

b is the answer that makes most sense

step-by-step explanation:

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
