Answer:
B: 4 solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Combining the two equations results in 2x² = 52, or x² = 26.
This equation has two solutions: x = ±√26.
As before, x² = 26. If we substitute 26 for x² in the 1st equation, we get:
26 - 4y² = 16, or 4y² = 10, or y = ±√5/2. Again: two solutions.
If we take x to be +√26, y could be ±√(5/2).
Check: is ( √26, √(5/2) ) a solution of the system?
Subbing these values into the first equation, we get:
26 - 4(5/2) = 16. Is this true?
Then 10 = 10. Yes.
Through three more checks, we find that this system has FOUR solutions.
108lbs a week
108/7 to find daily amount
approximately 15.43 pounds of meat a day
The answer is -9 because you have to multiply the two numbers.
The possibility of flipping heads is 1 in 2 (1/2)
the possibility of pulling a black card is 26 in 52 (26/52) which equals 1 in 2 (1/2)
multiply those together and you get 1 in 4, 1/4, or a 25%
