1. Divide wire b in parts x and b-x.
2. Bend the b-x piece to form a triangle with side (b-x)/3
There are many ways to find the area of the equilateral triangle. One is by the formula A=

A=

Another way is apply the formula A=1/2*base*altitude,
where the altitude can be found by applying the pythagorean theorem on the triangle with hypothenuse (b-x)/3 and side (b-x)/6
3. Let x be the circumference of the circle.

so

Area of circle =

4. Let f(x)=

be the function of the sum of the areas of the triangle and circle.
5. f(x) is a minimum means f'(x)=0
f'(x)=

=0



6. So one part is

and the other part is b-
Sorry only doing this for points
The answer is(4 -3.5x-15)hope this can help
What is the solution set of x2 + y2 = 26 and x − y = 6? A. {(5, -1), (-5, 1)} B. {(1, 5), (5, 1)} C. {(-1, 5), (1, -5)} D. {(5,

He two equations given are
x^2 + y^2 = 26
And
x - y = 6
x = y +6
Putting the value of x from the second equation to the first equation, we get
x^2 + y^2 = 26
(y + 6) ^2 + y^2 = 26
y^2 + 12y + 36 + y^2 = 26
2y^2 + 12y + 36 - 26 = 0
2y^2 + 12y + 10 = 0
y^2 + 6y + 5 = 0
y^2 + y + 5y + 5 = 0
y(y + 1) + 5 ( y + 1) = 0
(y + 1)(y + 5) = 0
Then
y + 1 = 0
y = -1
so x - y = 6
x + 1 = 6
x = 5
Or
y + 5 = 0
y = - 5
Again x = 1
So the solutions would be (-1, 5), (1 , -5). The correct option is option "C".
