Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
-a + b = -2
b = a + 3
-a + a + 3 = -2
3 = -2 (incorrect).....no solutions.....because these lines are parallel
6x² - 5x + -21 = 0
Because this whole equation equals zero, we must simply factorize the first half of the equation, or the left side.
(3x - 7)(2x + 3) = 0
I was never really taught a specific way to factorize, so I usually just guess and check when factorizing. It usually takes a long time, it always gives you the tight answer.
Then, take each equation and make it equal zero.
3x - 7 = 0 AND 2x + 3 = 0
3x - 7 = 0
Add 7 to both sides.
3x = 7
Divide both sides by 3.
x = 7/3
Now, we do our second equation.
2x + 3 = 0
Subtract 3 from both sides.
2x = -3
Divide both sides by 2.
x = -3/2
So, x = 7/3 AND x = -3/2
So, your answer is C) x = 7/3, x = -3/2

This problem is easier solved by finding the probability that she does NOT do her homework both Monday and Tuesday, which is obtained by the multiplication rule.
P(no HW on Monday) = 1-0.75 = 0.25
P(no HW on Tuesday) = 1-0.75 = 0.25
P(no HW on both Monday and Tuesday) = 0.25*0.25=0.0625
[by the multiplication rule]
This means that the rest of the time (1-0.0625=0.9375) Elsie does her homework either Monday, or Tuesday, or both days.
=>
P(HW either Monday, Tuesday, or both) = 0.9375
(note: in current English, Monday or Tuesday means "either Monday, Tuesday, or both days")
