Answer:
a=1
b=81
c=9
Step-by-step explanation:
the assumption being that the first machine is the one on the left-hand-side and the second is the one on the right-hand-side.
the input goes to the 1st machine and the output of that goes to the 2nd machine.
a)
if she uses and input of 6 on the 2nd one, the result will be 6² - 6 = 30, if we feed that to the 1st one the result will be √( 30 - 5) = √25 = 5, so, simply having the machines swap places will work to get a final output of 5.
b)
clearly we can never get an output of -5 from a square root, however we can from the quadratic one, the 2nd machine/equation.
let's check something, we need a -5 on the 2nd, so

so if we use a "1" as the output on the first machine, we should be able to find out what input we need, let's do that.

so if we use an input of 6 on the first machine, we should be able to get a -5 as final output from the 2nd machine.

The solution to a system of equations is the point on a graph where the two lines intersect. The graph where the point of intersection is (2, -1) is the last graph. The last graph is the correct answer.

Answer:
a) (x +2)(x +3)
b) x = -2 or -3
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The constants in the binomial factors will be divisors of 6 that have a sum of 5. You know that ...
6 = 1×6 = 2×3
The sums of these factor pairs are 7 and 5. You want the pair 2, 3. The factors are ...
x² +5x +6 = (x +2)(x +3)
__
b) The solutions to the equation are the values of x that make the factors zero:
(x +2) = 0 ⇒ x = -2
(x +3) = 0 ⇒ x = -3
