Well, as embarrasing as it may sound, I couldn't solve it (well the normal way atleast), that usually happens when you throw something out there. So I'll tell you guys the variables.
x = 8
y = 6
z = 10
New Question:
y(x+9) = 59
y = (x - 57) + 2^3
Solve for x.
Yeah still made kinda quickly but I definatly took the time to make sure it's a whole lot less difficult than the other.

Ok, that was easy.
x = -10
y = -59
or
x = 50
y = 1

When you say too hard, do you mean impossible? With what you gave us, there are 3 possible answers, almost impossible to work out because you don't get a 3d calculator or graph paper (and trial and error is for dummies)

Um... alright, I guess try this out.
x(x+5) = 2y - 6
y = 6x - 32
Solve for x and y.

Er.. All I got right now: x(x+5) = 2y - 6 y = 6x – 32 2x + 5x = 2y –6 3x = 2y – 6 3x- 2y = -6 -2y = -3x – 6 y = 3/2x + 3 y = 6x - 32 So far then: EQUATION 1 x = 3/2 y = 3 _________________Current Demo: None! Go check it out!

That's a plus, not a minus. _________________"What if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today." ~Phil Conners, Channel 9 Pittsburgh Weather Man~

Well, i did not show the ACTUAL work.. I basically combined 2x and 5x and since it'd minus.. it'd be 3x. I subtracted 2y to make it 3x-2y = -6. Then I basically divided by -2. _________________Current Demo: None! Go check it out!

You dummy, it starts of with x^2 + 5x = 2y - 6
