Solve the system of simultaneous equations x9y=10x-9y=10 and 3y2=4x+73y^2=4x+7, then show that 3y236y47=03y^2-36y-47=0.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We have two simultaneous equations: x9y=10(Equation 1)3y2=4x+7(Equation 2) \begin{aligned} x - 9y &= 10 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \\ 3y^2 &= 4x + 7 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \end{aligned}
2. We need to manipulate these equations to show that 3y236y47=03y^2 - 36y - 47 = 0.

STEP 2

Solve Equation 1 for xx.
x=9y+10 x = 9y + 10

STEP 3

Substitute the expression for xx from Equation 1 into Equation 2.
3y2=4(9y+10)+7 3y^2 = 4(9y + 10) + 7

STEP 4

Distribute the 4 across the parentheses.
3y2=36y+40+7 3y^2 = 36y + 40 + 7

STEP 5

Combine like terms on the right side of the equation.
3y2=36y+47 3y^2 = 36y + 47

STEP 6

Subtract 36y+4736y + 47 from both sides of the equation to set the equation to zero.
3y236y47=0 3y^2 - 36y - 47 = 0
We have shown that 3y236y47=03y^2 - 36y - 47 = 0.
