Kelly and Greta are asked to write an equation for the scenario below. “One person was able to plant 4 trees in the same amount

of time that 5 people working together were able to plant 20 trees.” The girls agree that x represents the number of people working and y represents the number of trees planted. Kelly wrote the equation , and Greta wrote the equation . Which person is correct, and why? Kelly is correct; each person plants more trees than the person before them. Kelly is correct; and . Greta is correct; each person plants 4 more trees than the person before them. Greta is correct; and .

<u>Answer:</u> Greta is correct.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Greta is correct sine you can substitute different number of people for each of the values of and y and check that each person will still plant 4 trees.

For example:

4x = 4(1) = 4 trees; and

4 x 5 = 20

but you should follow a certain pattern to increase the value of x, such that every foe every value of x, one person is able to plant 4 trees.

Given the system of equations, what is the solution? <br><br> x + 2y = 11 <br> x - 2y = -1
zhenek [66]

We need to solve x+2y=11 for x

Let's start by adding -2y to both sides

x+2y -2y = 11-2y

x= -2y+11

Now substitute -2y+11 for x in x-2y =-1

x-2y=-1

-2y+11-2y=-1

-4y+11=-1

Add -11 to both sides

-4y+11-11=-1-11

-4y=-12

Divide both sides by -4

-4y/-4 = -12/-4

y= 3

Substitute 3 for y in x=-2y+11

x= -2y+11

x = (-2)(3)+11

x=-6+11

x=5


The answer is x=5 and y=3

(5,3)


I hope that's help:)

X^2+1=0<br> What are the roots of this equation?<br> Thanks!
Hitman42 [59]
X² + 1 = 0

=> (x+1)² - 2x = 0

=> x+1 = √(2x)

or x - √(2x) + 1 = 0

Now take y=√x

So, the equation changes to

y² - y√2 + 1 = 0

By quadratic formula, we get:-

y = [√2 ± √(2–4)]/2

or √x = (√2 ± i√2)/2 or (1 ± i)/√2 [by cancelling the √2 in numerator and denominator and ‘i' is a imaginary number with value √(-1)]

or x = [(1 ± i)²]/2

So roots are [(1+i)²]/2 and [(1 - i)²]/2

Thus we got two roots but in complex plane. If you put this values in the formula for formation of quadratic equation, that is x²+(a+b)x - ab where a and b are roots of the equation, you will get the equation

x² + 1 = 0 back again
So it’s x=1 or x=-1

saveliy_v [14]
First simplify 3x + 12 - 6x to -3x - 12
Next subtract 12 from both sides
Next subtract -9 - 12 and that would be -21
Next divide both sides by -3
Next lets simplify the fraction -21/-3 into 21/3 since those two negatives make a positive.
Lastly simplify the fraction 21/3 to get the answer.
