Try this explanation/solution:
a) the system which describes this situation is:

b) the solution of the system made up:

Answer:
a) x^2 + y^2
b) 9-xy
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to write the algebraic statements as expressions;
a) The sum of the squares of x and y
The square of x is x^2
The square of y is y^2
The sum of the squares is x^2 + y^2
ii) Product of x and y subtracted from 9
The product of x and y is x * y = xy
Subtracting these from 9, we have;
9-xy
It's undefined, but I think you spelled it wrong.
In 1 minute the copy machine copies = 24
That means
In 60 seconds the copy machine copies = 24
First we need to convert 5 minutes and 30 seconds to seconds
Then
5 minutes and 30 seconds = (5 * 60) + 30
= 300 + 30
= 330 seconds
So
In 330 seconds the copy machine will copy = (24/60) * 330
= 4 * 33
= 132
So in 5 minutes and 30 seconds the copy machine will copy 132 copies.
