MHB Solve Simultaneous Equations y=2x²+3x-31 & y=21-2x

AI Thread Summary
To solve the simultaneous equations y=2x²+3x-31 and y=21-2x, equate the right-hand sides to find x. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the calculations rather than simply receiving the answer. A suggestion was made to work through the problem independently for better learning. Participants encourage engagement with the problem to enhance comprehension. Ultimately, solving these equations requires careful substitution and algebraic manipulation.

yea but i really need help don't really understand need to see the calculation to understand it properly

I have moved this topic as it is a better fit here in the Pre-Algebra and Algebra sub-forum.

The suggestion given by Evgeny.Makarov is an excellent one, and you should be able to make at least some progress with it. If he does it for you, you will learn less than if you attempt it yourself. :D
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
