The only question in there i can see is ms. Sacksteader wants to know how many 5 pound bags of potatoes can she sell . It does have a period making it a statement not a question and if a question mark was added it would be a question .
Step-by-step explanation:
114° thats what i got when i calculated
If you would like to solve the system of equations, you can do this using the following steps:
2x - y = -2
x = 14 + 2y
__________
<span>2x - y = -2
</span>2 * (14 + 2y) - y = -2
28 + 4y - y = -2
28 + 3y = -2
3y = -2 - 28
3y = -30 /3
y = -30/3
y = -10
<span>x = 14 + 2y = 14 + 2 * (-10) = 14 - 20 = -6
</span>
(x, y) = (-6, -10)
The correct result would be <span>(-6, -10).</span>
Y=Mx+B is the slope for and then go from there
Usually one will differentiate the function to find the minimum/maximum point, but in this case differentiating yields:

which contains multiple solution if one tries to solve for x when the differentiated form is 0.
I would, though, venture a guess that the minimum value would be (approaching) 5, since the function would be undefined in the vicinity.
If, however, the function is

Then differentiating and equating to 0 yields:

which gives:

or

We reject x=5 as it is when it ix the maximum and thus,
