Q. y=3x15 y=3 x-15 \newliney=x22x15 y=x^{2}-2 x-15 \newlineIf (x,y) (x, y) is a solution to the system of equations and x>0 x>0 , what is the value of x x ?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 11\newline(B) 55\newline(C) 66\newline1515
  1. Set Equations Equal: To find the value of xx, we need to set the two equations equal to each other because they both equal yy. This will allow us to solve for xx. So, we set 3x153x - 15 equal to x22x15x^2 - 2x - 15. 3x15=x22x153x - 15 = x^2 - 2x - 15
  2. Rearrange and Solve: Next, we rearrange the equation to set it to zero and solve for xx.x22x153x+15=0x^2 - 2x - 15 - 3x + 15 = 0x25x=0x^2 - 5x = 0
  3. Factor Out xx: Now we factor out an xx from the equation.x(x5)=0x(x - 5) = 0
  4. Set Factors Equal: We set each factor equal to zero to find the possible values for xx.x=0x = 0 or x5=0x - 5 = 0
  5. Solve for x: Solving for x in the second equation gives us:\newlinex5=0x - 5 = 0\newlinex=5x = 5
  6. Discard x=0x=0: Since we are given that x>0x > 0, we discard the solution x=0x = 0 and only consider x=5x = 5.
