Show the equation “Seven less than the product of 5 and a number equals 2”

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.

x² + 11x + 18 < 0  

[-11 ± sqrt(121 - 72)]/2 = (-11 ± 7)/2  

solution: (-9, -2)
