Answer:
x = √(-1) = i
Since the value of √(-1) is not real.
The system has no real solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution to the system of equations is at the point where they intercept each other.
y1 = y2
For the given equation;
y=x^2-2x and y=-2x-1
To get the where they intercept, we will equal both equations;
y=x^2-2x = -2x-1
x^2 - 2x = -2x - 1
x^2 - 2x + 2x + 1 =0
x^2 +1 = 0
x^2 = -1
x = √(-1) = i
Since the value of √(-1) is not real.
The system has no real solution.
Subtract 18 from 72 to get Michelle's current age.
72 - 18 = 54

The basic idea is to find the period of the repeating decimal, move the

digits belonging to one period over to the left of the decimal point by multiplying by

, then subtract the original repeating decimal from this new number, and finally divide by
