y = x-2
y = -2x+7
Move x and -2x to the other sides of the equations noting that the + and - signs will change in order to keep the equations in balance:
y-x = -2
y+2x = 7
Subtract the bottom equation from the top equation:
-3x = -9
Divide both sides by -3 to find the value of x:
x = 3 and y = 1

x2 + 2x -6 = 0 x2 + 2x + 1 = 7 (x + 1)2 = 7 x = -1 ± √7
x2 - 10x - 6 = 2x + 1 Subtracting 2x + 1 from both sides gives: x2 - 12x - 7 = 0
x2+2x-63 = 0 When factorised: (x-7)(x+9) = 0 Therefore: x = 7 or x = -9
If x=4 then 2x+7 =
X=7
