Which steps could be part of the process in algebraically solving the system of equations, [tex]y + 5x = x^2 + 10[/tex] and [tex]y = 4x - 10[/tex]? Select two options.

A. [tex]y = x^2 + 5x + 10[/tex]
B. [tex]y + 5x = x^2 + 10 + 4x - 10[/tex]
C. [tex]0 = x^2 - 9x[/tex]
D. [tex]0 = x^2 - 9x + 20[/tex]
E. One [tex]x[/tex]-value of a solution to the system is 4.



Answer :

To algebraically solve the system of equations:

1. [tex]\( y + 5x = x^2 + 10 \)[/tex]
2. [tex]\( y = 4x - 10 \)[/tex]

we proceed through the following steps:

### Step-by-Step Process:

1. Replace [tex]\( y \)[/tex] in the first equation with the expression from the second equation:
[tex]\[ y = 4x - 10 \][/tex]
Substituting into the first equation:
[tex]\[ (4x - 10) + 5x = x^2 + 10 \][/tex]

2. Simplify and combine like terms:
[tex]\[ 9x - 10 = x^2 + 10 \][/tex]

3. Rearrange all terms to set the equation to zero:
[tex]\[ x^2 - 9x + 10 + 10 = 0 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ x^2 - 9x + 20 = 0 \][/tex]

4. Next, write the simplified version of the quadratic equation:
[tex]\[ x^2 - 9x = 0 \][/tex]

So, the detailed options part of the algebraically solving process include:
- Option 3: [tex]\( 0 = x^2 - 9x \)[/tex]
- Option 4: [tex]\( 0 = x^2 - 9x + 20 \)[/tex]

### Verifying One [tex]\( x \)[/tex]-value of the solution:
Given that one [tex]\( x \)[/tex]-value is 4, we can substitute [tex]\( x = 4 \)[/tex] into either equation to find [tex]\( y \)[/tex]:

Substituting [tex]\( x = 4 \)[/tex] in the second equation:
[tex]\[ y = 4(4) - 10 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ y = 16 - 10 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ y = 6 \][/tex]

Therefore, the solution [tex]\( (x, y) = (4, 6) \)[/tex] is valid.
