UCSS Math II 3B.4.2 Example 2

Solve the given system of equations algebraically. [math] \begin{cases}y = 2x^2 + 13x + 15 \\ y = x - 1 \end{cases} [/math]

[list=1] [*]Since both equations are equal to [math]y[/math], substitute by setting the equations equal to each other. [*]Solve the equation either by factoring or by using the quadratic formula. [*]Check your solution(s) by graphing. [/list] This applet is provided by Walch Education as supplemental material for the [i]UCSS Secondary Math II[/i] program.
