Can someone help me with this question? I seem to be getting a negative answer every time :(

Substitute 4 for y. Then -3x^2 + 16 = 52.

Solve for x. Subtract 16 from both sides, obtaining -3x^2 = 36.

Divide both sides by -3, obtaining x^2 = -12. This last result makes no sense, as no square of a real number could be negative. Probably this is where you're ":getting a negative answer."

If imaginary answers were allowed, then x = i*√12 = i*2√3 or x = -i*2√3.

You get a negative value for x² because there are no real-number solutions to the set of equations. (The graphs do not intersect.)

Solve for x^2:

... x^2 = (y^2 -52)/3 = (16-52)/3) = -12

... x = 2√(-3) = ±i·2√3

Complex numbers cannot be compared to zero. (x > 0 has no meaning in this context.) It seems possible you want the complex solution with the positive imaginary part: x = i·2√3

A store is having a sale on jelly beans and trail mix. For 3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is
Nata [24]

the cost for each of jelly beans and each pound of trail mix is $2.5 and $1.75

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given A store is having a sale on jelly beans and trail mix. For 3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $11. For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 6 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $23 . We have to find the cost for each pound of trail mix and each pound of jelly beans.

Let the cost of each pound of trail mix is $y.

and  the cost of each pound of jelly beans is $x.

According to question,

For   3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $11.

⇒ 3x+2y=11  →  (1)

For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 6 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $23

⇒ 5x+6y=23 →  (2)

Solving (1) and (2), we get

3(1 equation)-(2 equation)=0

⇒3(3x+2y)-5x-6y=3(11)-23

⇒9x+6y-5x-6y=10

hence,

⇒4x=10

⇒x=2.5

Putting x=2.5 in  3x+2y=11  we get ;

⇒  3x+2y=11

⇒  3(2.5)+2y=11

⇒  2y=11-7.5=3.5

⇒  y=1.75

Hence, the cost for each of jelly beans and each pound of trail mix is $2.5 and $1.75 .
