<span>C. Use objects to model the problem. Take 8 pieces of play money. Take away 1 piece for the coffee and 2 pieces for the bagel.</span>
6x - 2y = 10
-2y = -6x + 10...reduce by dividing by -2
y = 3x - 5....slope = 3 and y int = -5
y = 3x + 2 ...slope = 3, y int = 2
These lines are parallel. Parallel lines will have the same slope, but different y int's. There is no solution to this because ur lines never intersect.
Mark's answer is correct
Answer:
18 and 65
Step-by-step explanation:
under 18 would be 17 and under, therefore not including 18 year olds. obviously they are not 19 yet either, so they wouldn't fall into either category, therefore they may be unsure of what to answer.
same with 65 year olds; they are more than 64 year old, but not yet /over/ 65, therefore they would not fit into either category either.
General Idea:
(i) Assign variable for the unknown that we need to find
(ii) Sketch a diagram to help us visualize the problem
(iii) Write the mathematical equation representing the description given.
(iv) Solve the equation by substitution method. Solving means finding the values of the variables which will make both the equation TRUE
Applying the concept:
Given: x represents the length of the pen and y represents the area of the doghouse
<u>Statement 1: </u>"The pen is 3 feet wider than it is long"

------
<u>Statement 2: "He also built a doghouse to put in the pen which has a perimeter that is equal to the area of its base"</u>

------
<u>Statement 3: "After putting the doghouse in the pen, he calculates that the dog will have 178 square feet of space to run around inside the pen."</u>

------
<u>Statement 4: "The perimeter of the pen is 3 times greater than the perimeter of the doghouse."</u>

Conclusion:
The systems of equations that can be used to determine the length and width of the pen and the area of the doghouse is given in Option B.
