X*a = 244  is equation (1)
x+a = 2    is equation (2)

Solve equation (2) for 'a' to get
x+a = 2
a = 2-x
Call this equation (3)

We will plug equation (3) into equation (1)
x*a = 244
x*(a) = 244
x*(2-x) = 244
Notice how the 'a' is replaced with an expression in terms of x

Let's solve for x
x*(2-x) = 244
2x-x^2 = 244
x^2-2x+244 = 0

If we use the discriminant formula, d = b^2 - 4ac, then we find that...
d = b^2 - 4ac
d = (-2)^2 - 4*1*244
d = -972
indicating that there are no real number solutions to the equation x^2-2x+244 = 0

So this means that 'x' and 'a' in those two original equations are non real numbers. If you haven't learned about complex numbers yet, then the answer is simply "no solution". At this point you would stop here. 

If you have learned about complex numbers, then the solution set is approximately 
{x = 1 + 15.588i, a = 1 - 15.588i}
which can be found through the quadratic formula

Note: it's possible that there's a typo somewhere in the problem that your teacher gave you.

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the total of miles Marisa is going to drive; 200 + 220 = 420

If m < 0 and b > 0, the graph of y = mx + b does not pass through which quadrant?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Quadrant III


Step-by-step explanation:

The attached picture shows graph of 4 such linear functions with the conditions given in the problem. ALL of them DO NOT pass through Quadrant III.

The graphs shown are of the functions:

y=-2x+1

y=-3x+3

y=-x+0.5

y=-5x+2


<em>So, any linear function of the form  y=mx+b  with  m  and  b>0  does not pass through Quadrant III. Answer choice 3 is correct.</em>
