1 hour=1/6+1/6+1/6
1 hour=3/6
1 hour=1/2
for every hour, the snail moved 1/2 a foot
It is negative because the plot is going down not up
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations is given as
y=x^2-5x+7 - - - - - - - - - - 1
y=2x+1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2
We would equate equation 1 to equation 2, it becomes
x^2-5x+7 = 2x+1
x^2-5x+7- 2x - 1 = 0
x^2-5x+7- 2x - 1 = 0
x^2 - 5x - 2x + 7 - 1 = 0
x^2 - 7x + 6 = 0
We would use the factorization method of solving quadratic equations.
x^2 - 6x - x + 6 = 0
x(x - 6) - 1(x - 6)
(x - 6)(x - 1) = 0
x - 6 = 0 or x - 1 = 0
x = 6 or x = 1
Substituting both values of x into equation 2, it becomes
For x = 6,
y=2×6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13
y = 13
For x = 1,
y=2 × 1 +1 = 2 + 1 = 3
y = 3
Divide 3 by 3/4 and you will get your answer. you can also multiply 3×4/3. it's the same thing
