Answer: x= -27
Step-by-step explanation: subtract 9 from both sides to get x by itself
Note that the 2nd equation can be re-written as y=8x-10.
According to the second equation, y=x^2+12x+30.
Equate these two equations to eliminate y:
8x-10 = x^2+12x+30
Group all terms together on the right side. To do this, add -8x+10 to both sides. Then 0 = x^2 +4x +40. You must now solve this quadratic equation for x, if possible. I found that this equation has NO REAL SOLUTIONS, so we must conclude that the given system of equations has NO REAL SOLUTIONS.
If you have a graphing calculator, please graph 8x-10 and x^2+12x+30 on the same screen. You will see two separate graphs that do NOT intersect. This is another way in which to see / conclude that there is NO REAL SOLUTION to this system of equations.
Answer:
350 feet per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of time it took the plane to descend is 3 hours 14 minutes minus 1 hour 30 minutes.
This means it took 104 minutes for the plane to descend 36,400 feet.
Dividing 36400 by 104, you get 350 which is the average rate of descent in feet per minute.
