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.

i agree with martin because i added 700+490+17 and got 1,207
Answer:
Aziza’s claim is incomplete. The third side must be between 4 in. and 26 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
With the Triangle Inequality Theorem, saying that the sum of lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. With this we can develop two inequalities:
11 + 15 > x
26 > x
rewrite this as x < 26
11 + x > 15
x > 15 - 11 Subtract 11 from both sides
x > 4
Therefore, the third side can be anywhere greater than 4 inches and less than and less than 26 inches.
4 < x < 26
