Solve the system by elimination.
{y= 16x+44
{y= -x^2 +8x+28

x= -4, y= -20

Step-by-step explanation:

y= 16x+44

(y= -x²+8x+28) * (-1)

multiply both sides by -1  

y= 16x+44

-y= x²-8x-28

add the equations to eliminate y

y-y= x²+16x-8x+44-28

0= x² +8x +16 this is the same with (x+4)²=0 so x= -4

go back to the first equation and substitute x with -4 and solve for y

y= 16*(-4) +44 = -64+44 = -20

true? is that what you're asking or do you mean something else?
