<u>ANSWER</u>
A. (4,12)
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
The equations are:

and

To eliminate a variable we make the coefficients of that variable the same in both equations.
It is easier to eliminate x.
We multiply the first equation by 2 to get:

We add equations (2) and (3).


Divide both sides by 23


Put x=4 into equation (1).






The solution is (4,12)
They can because of zero property. If we set them equal to zero we get their roots which is 3 and -2. This is the same on the x axis which is goes through. We can mark these points.
Answer: 1/12 of a cup
To get this answer, you multiply 1/4 by 1/3
Multiply straight across
(1/4)*(1/3) = (1*1)/(4*3) = 1/12
