<h3>
Answer: Choice D. 12,600 feet</h3>
============================================================
Explanation:
We have two similar triangles here, so we can set up the proportion below to solve for x
5200/(5200+6500) = 5600/x
5200/11700 = 5600/x
5200x = 11700*5600 .... cross multiply
5200x = 65,520,000
x = (65,520,000)/(5200)
x = 12,600 which shows why the answer is choice D
side note: 12,600 ft = 2.386 miles approximately

Answer:
Choice A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = price of a helmet, y = price of a bat, z = price of a ball.
Company A can provide 9 helmets, 6 bats, and 12 balls for $525.
9x + 6y + 12z = 525
Company B can provide 10 helmets, 8 bats, and 10 balls for $600.
10x + 8y + 10z = 600
Company C can provide 8 helmets, 5 bats, and 15 balls for $500.
8x + 5y + 15z = 500
Answer: Choice A.
Start by writing the system down, I will use 
to represent 
Substitute the fact that 
into the first equation to get,
Simplify into a quadratic form (
),
Now you can use Vieta's rule which states that any quadratic equation can be written in the following form,
which then must factor into
And the solutions will be 
.
Clearly for small coefficients like ours 
, this is very easy to figure out. To get 5 and 6 we simply say that 
.
This fits the definition as 
and 
.
So as mentioned, solutions will equal to but these are just x-values in the solution pairs of a form 
.
To get y-values we must substitute 3 for x in the original equation and then also 2 for x in the original equation. Luckily we already know that substituting either of the two numbers yields a zero.
So the solution pairs are 
and 
.
Hope this helps :)
