In each case, you can use the second equation to create an expression for y that will substitute into the first equation. Then you can write the result in standard form and use any of several means to find the number of solutions.
System A
x² + (-x/2)² = 17
x² = 17/(5/4) = 13.6
x = ±√13.6 . . . . 2 real solutions
System B
-6x +5 = x² -7x +10
x² -x +5 = 0
The discriminant is ...
D = (-1)²-4(1)(5) = -20 . . . . 0 real solutions
System C
y = 8x +17 = -2x² +9
2x² +8x +8 = 0
2(x+2)² = 0
x = -2 . . . . 1 real solution
Answer:
Jon lost a total of 3 kilograms in these 3 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Weight that Jon gained in December = 2.2 kilograms
Weight that Jon lost in January = 1.5 kilograms
Weight that Jon lost in February = 3.7 kilograms
Overall Change in his weight = Total Weight he gained - Total weight he Lost
Total weight he gained is 2.2 kilograms as he only gained weight in December. Total weight he lost will be sum of weights he lost in January and February.
So, total weight Jon lost = 1.5 + 3.7 = 5.2 kilograms
Thus,
Total change in Jon's Weight = 2.2 - 5.2 = -3.0 kilograms
This shows that Jon lost a total of 3 kilograms in these 3 months.
Conclusion:
The statement that best describe the total change in his weight is: Jon lost a total of 3 kilograms in these 3 months
Answer:
(y - 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
"7 less than y" means just that.... that you have 7 fewer units then the value of y.
