What are the x-coordinates of the solutions to this system of equations? x2 + y2 = 100 y = x + 2

x = - 8, x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x² + y² = 100 → (1)

y = x + 2 → (2)

Substitute y = x + 2 into (1)

x² + (x + 2)² = 100

x² + x² + 4x + 4 = 100

2x² + 4x + 4 = 100 ( subtract 100 from both sides )

2x² + 4x - 96 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )

x² + 2x - 48 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
