Question

The first step in determining the solution to the system of equations, y = –x2 – 4x – 3 and y = 2x + 5, algebraically is to set the two equations equal as –x2 – 4x – 3 = 2x + 5. What is the next step?

Answer 1

not c

Explanation:

Answer 2

The next step will be solve for x.

-x2-4x-3=2x+5

-8x=8

x=8/(-8)

x=-1
