The system of equations:
2 y = - x - 1
2 y = x + 5
---------------------
- x - 1 = x + 5
- 2 x = 5 + 1
- 2 x = 6
x = - 6 : 2
x = - 3
2 y = - 3 + 5
2 y = 2
y = 1
The solution is ( - 3 , 1 ).
Answer: The x-coordinate of the solution to the system is: x = - 3.
Answer:
b)
is another zero of the polynomial
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you are given a set of options to choose from, a very simple way to find the zero of the polynomial is by simply plugging each value from the options and seeing which of them gives the answer 0.

Using all the options:

Now we know that at x = -4 the value of the polynomial f(x) is 0. hence
b)
is another zero of the polynomial
The graph is shown in the attached image.
That is about right... 2,514 X 2 = 5,028 so he is about 1,000 off. I will leave the rest to you.
