Which equation can be solved by using the following system of equations?

[tex]
\[
\begin{cases}
y = 3x^3 - 7x^2 + 5 \\
y = 7x^4 + 2x
\end{cases}
\]
[/tex]

A. [tex]\(3x^3 - 7x^2 + 5 = 0\)[/tex]

B. [tex]\(3x^3 - 7x^2 + 5 = 7x^4 + 2x\)[/tex]

C. [tex]\(7x^4 + 2x = 0\)[/tex]

D. [tex]\(7x^4 + 3x^3 - 7x^2 + 2x + 5 = 0\)[/tex]

Answer :

We start with the system of equations:

[tex]$$
\begin{cases}
y = 3x^3 - 7x^2 + 5, \\
y = 7x^4 + 2x.
\end{cases}
$$[/tex]

Since both equations are equal to [tex]$y$[/tex], we can set their right-hand sides equal to each other:

[tex]$$
3x^3 - 7x^2 + 5 = 7x^4 + 2x.
$$[/tex]

This is the equation obtained from the system of equations, so the correct answer is:

[tex]$$
3x^3 - 7x^2 + 5 = 7x^4 + 2x.
$$[/tex]

Thus, the system of equations can be solved by using this equation.
