Determine if (-2,6) and (4,12) are solutions to the system of equations:

Mathematics

kykrilka [37]2 years ago

Answer:

Both (-2,6) and (4,12) are solutions to the system.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine whether the two given points represent solutions to our system of equations, we must "plug" thos points into both equations and check that the equality remains valid.

Step 1: Plug (-2,6) into y=x+8

(6) = (-2)+8 = 6

The solution verifies the equation.

Step 2: Plug (-2,6) into 2y=x^2 + 8

2(6) = (-2)^2+8=4+8=12

The solution verifies both equations. Therefore, (-2,6) is a solution to this system.

Now we must check if the second point is also valid.

Step 3: Plug (4,12) into y=x+8

(12) = (4)+8 = 12

Step 4: Plug (4,12) into 2y=x^2 + 8

2(12) = (4)^2+8=16+8=24

The solution verifies both equations. Therefore, (4,12) is another solution to this system.

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Theres a ratio of 1:4

Where Jamie has driven 4 times as much as Rhonda

meaning that you can plug in values,  1:4=125

the 4 represents Jamie since she drove farther than rhonda

Rhonda drove 25 miles, and Jamie drove 100 miles

25(4)+25=124

Martin decided to buy 2 bags of grapes weighing 5 and two-thirds pounds each, instead of the 3 bags weighing 4 and one-fifth pou
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer: He ended up with about 1 pound less grapes

Step-by-step explanation:

2 bags of grapes weighing 5 and two-thirds pounds each will give a total weight of:

= 2 × 5 2/3

= 2 × 17/3

= 34/3

= 11 1/3 pounds

3 bags weighing 4 and one-fifth pounds each, will give a weight of:

= 3 × 4 1/5

= 3 × 21/5

= 63/5

= 12 3/5

He ended up buying lesser grapes. This was about 12 3/5 - 11 1/3 = 1 4/15 less. This means that he ended up with about 1 pound less grapes

Got you. So we will use the basic formula for the area of a rectangle and insert variable values. (^_^)

Area= Width(Height)   ----------- Insert values of width and height [width = (x-1)
, height = (x+9)]

Area= (x-1)(x+9) )   -------------- Then expand if needed?
       = x² +8x -9
