ANSWER: Is Not and Can Not
Answer:
The answer is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute y=4x to the second equation:
x^2 + (4x)^2 = 17
x^2 + 16x^2 = 17
17x^2 = 17
x^2 = 17/17
x^2 = 1
x = 1 and -1
When x=1, y=4(1) = 4
When x=-1, y=4(-1) = -4
Thus the solutions would be (1,4) and (-1,-4). That would correspond to D. and A.

Natalie was supposed to use PEMDAS (as we all do when doing math), which stands for: Parentheses, Exponents, Mulitplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. However, Natalie subtracted 1 from 2 before multiplying 6 by 4 and dividing it by 2.
Hope this helps!!
