Answer: Choice D
=====================================================
Explanation:
The left portion is the interval (-∞, -2)
This is a shorthand way of saying 
The curved parenthesis says "do not include this endpoint as part of the solution set". Note the open hole at x = -2 in the diagram.
In contrast, the value x = 4 is included (due to the filled in circle), so we use a square bracket for this endpoint. Therefore, the right-hand portion is represented by [4, ∞) which translates to 
Negative and positive infinity will always use a parenthesis, and never a square bracket. This is because we can only approach infinity but never reach it, so we cannot include it as an endpoint.
All of this builds up to the full interval notation to be
The only square bracket is near the 4; everything else is a curved parenthesis. This is why choice D is the final answer.
The subtrahend is 9 and the difference is 8 and the minuend is 17

Answer: (3, 0)</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
Let's isolate x in the first equation.
x-2y = 3
x = 3+2y
Then we'll plug this into the second equation
Afterwards, solve for y.
2x + 4y = 6
2(3+2y)+4y = 6
6+4y+4y = 6
8y+6 = 6
8y = 6-6
8y = 0
y = 0/8
y = 0
Use this to find x.
x = 3+2y
x = 3+2(0)
x = 3
The solution is therefore (x,y) = (3, 0)
If you were to graph both lines, then they would intersect at the location (3,0).
-----------------------------
Checking the answer:
Plug x = 3 and y = 0 into the first equation.
x-2y = 3
3-2(0) = 3
3 - 0 = 3
3 = 3 that works
Repeat for the other equation
2x+4y = 6
2(3) + 4(0) = 6
6 + 0 = 6
6 = 6 that works as well
Both equations are true when (x,y) = (3,0).
The solution is confirmed.
