I would first isolate x in the first equation in the left hand side (x = 2 + 2y). Then I would replace the x in the second equation with the right hand side of the first equation, making the second equati...

2(x²) - 2x - 12= 2( x^2 - x - 6)The constant is negative so the 2 factors must have opposite signs. Then, the x term is negative so the larger one must be negative, and the smaller one positive...

For a proof via contradiction, you would start by assuming the statement is actually false¹ (even if the given statement seems inherent...

4(2x + y) = 11 + 7y expand the brackets8x + 4y = 11 + 7y move +4y to the other side8x = 11 + 3y move 8 to the other sidex= (11 + 3y)/8

I will explain best during the interview on the whiteboard space
