Answer:
Second choice:


Fifth choice:


Step-by-step explanation:
Let's look at choice 1.


I'm going to subtract 1 on both sides for the first equation giving me
. I will replace the
in the second equation with this substitution from equation 1.

Expand using the distributive property and the identity
:




So this not the desired result.
Let's look at choice 2.


Solve the first equation for
by dividing both sides by 2:
.
Let's plug this into equation 2:



This is the desired result.
Choice 3:


Solve the first equation for
by adding 3 on both sides:
.
Plug into second equation:

Expanding using the distributive property and the earlier identity mentioned to expand the binomial square:



Not the desired result.
Choice 4:


I'm going to solve the bottom equation for
since I don't want to deal with square roots.
Add 3 on both sides:

Divide both sides by 2:

Plug into equation 1:

This is not the desired result because the
variable will be squared now instead of the
variable.
Choice 5:


Solve the first equation for
by subtracting 1 on both sides:
.
Plug into equation 2:

Distribute and use the binomial square identity used earlier:



.
This is the desired result.
Nothing shows up.. could you type it out?
Answer:
1/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 5 people share 1/4 gallon, this can be converted into 1/4 times 1/5. This gives 1/20 for everbody. Sheila gives hers to Maria, which means Maria now has 1/20 plus 1/20, which is 2/20, which can be simplified to 1/10.
