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
Since only one person can finish in first place, one in second, etc., the total number of placers is 12x11x10, or 1320 different ways the 12 racers can finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd....

Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the equation of the line:
put it in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
You already have m = 2, so y = 2x + b.
Then, since you know (1, 3) is a solution so you can plug x = 1 and y = 3 into the equation to find out what b is.
3 = 2 * 1 + b
3 = 2 + b
1 = b
This means the equation of the line is y = 2x + 1.
Then, since you're trying to find out what y is when x = 2, you can plug in x = 2 into the equation:
y = 2 * 2 + 1
y = 4 + 1
y = 5
