Solve for y. -15y – -14y = -9

9

Step-by-step explanation:

-15 - -14y = -9

two negatives (close together) makes a positive

-15y + 14y = -9

add like terms

-1y = -9

get y alone (divide whats in front of it) and do the same on the other side

-1y/-1 = -9/-1

if you divide two negatives it makes it positive so youll get 9

a reflection across the x-axis , followed by the by a reflection across the y-axis , and then a scale dilation of 0.5 .

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8
