Solve the following system of equations algebraically:

y = 4x^2 + 17x + 14
y = 2x + 5

When x = -3  y = -1

When x = -3/4  y = 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x^2 + 17x + 14

y = 2x + 5

Set each equation equal to each other

4x^2 + 17x + 14  = 2x + 5

Subtract 2x from each side

4x^2 + 17x-2x + 14  = 2x-2x + 5

4x^2 + 15x + 14  =  5

Subtract 5 from each side

4x^2 + 15x + 14-5  =  5-5

4x^2 + 15x +9  = 0

Factor

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

Using the zero product property

4x+3 =0    x+3 =0

4x = -3      x=-3

x = -3/4     x=-3

Now we need to find y for each x

x =-3   y = 2x+5  =2(-3)+5 = -6+5 = -1  

When x = -3  y = -1

x = -3/4   y = 2(-3/4) +5 = -3/2 +5 = 7/2

When x = -3/4  y = 7/2
