What is the value of the discriminant of the quadratic equation -2x2=-8x+8, and what does its value mean about the number of real number solutions the equation has? The discriminant is equal to 0, which means the equation has no real number solutions.
The discriminant is equal to 0, which means the equation has one real number solution.
The discriminant is equal to 128, which means the equation has no real number solutions.
The discriminant is equal to 128, which means the equation has two real number solutions.

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

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
