C is your answer. 5x + 2 = 17
First let’s get them all in terms of x:
Box kites = 3x
Dragon kites = x + 2
Butterfly kites = x
Adding all those up:
x + 3x + x + 2 = 17
Combine like terms:
5x + 2 = 17
2x^2 + x + 3=0 has only complex roots.
The determinant is 1-4*2*3 = -23
-23 (or any determinant) is the part under the square root sign, If that determinant is negative, knowing you cannot take the square root of a negative number, we know the answers must be complex.
