  (x, y) = (5, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equating expressions for y, we have ...

  x^2 -9x +18 = x -7

  x^2 -10x +25 = 0 . . . . . add 7-x to both sides

  (x -5)^2 = 0 . . . . . . . . factor

The value of x that makes the factor(s) zero is x=5. The corresponding value of y is ...

  y = x -7 = 5 -7 = -2

The solution is (x, y) = (5, -2).

your answer is 23/2 - 13.5

step-by-step explanation:

7/2 evaluates to

multiply x and 4.5

multiply x and 1

the x just gets copied along.

the answer is x

x

4.5*x evaluates to 4.5x

multiply 3 and 4.5x

multiply 1 and x

the x just gets copied along.

x

4.5*x*3 evaluates to 13.5x

7/2-4.5*x*3 evaluates to

  + 8 =

the answer is

7/2-4.5*x*3+8 evaluates to

$32,660
