Answer 1

To solve the linear-quadratic system using the substitution method, we have the following equations:

1. \( y = x^2 - 4x + 8 \)
2. \( y = 3x - 4 \)

We can substitute the second equation into the first equation. This gives us:

\[ 3x - 4 = x^2 - 4x + 8 \]

Next, we rearrange the equation:

\[ x^2 - 4x - 3x + 8 + 4 = 0 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0 \]

Now, we factor the quadratic equation:

\[ (x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 \]

Thus, we have two solutions for \( x \):

1. \( x = 3 \)
2. \( x = 4 \)

Now, we can find the corresponding \( y \) values using either of the original equations (we'll use the linear equation \( y = 3x - 4 \)):

1. For \( x = 3 \): \[ y = 3(3) - 4 = 9 - 4 = 5 \] So one solution is \( (3, 5) \).

2. For \( x = 4 \): \[ y = 3(4) - 4 = 12 - 4 = 8 \] So the other solution is \( (4, 8) \).

Thus, the solutions to the system are \( (4, 8) \) and \( (3, 5) \).

The correct response is: (4,8) and (3,5).
