Given:

The given point is (-4,1)
Let's check the ordered pair (-4,1) in the first equation

Hence, (-4,1) is a solution of the first equation x-5y=-9.
Now, let's check (-4,1) in the second equation.

So, (-4,1) is a solution of the second equation 4x+4y=-12.
Hence, (-4,1) is a solution of both equation in the system, then it is a solution to the overall system.
Frank can build a fence in twice the time it would take Sandy. Working together, they can build it in 7 hours. How long will it take each of them to do it alone?
Answer
If Frank and Sandy can build the fence in 7 hours, they must be building
1
7
of the fence every hour.
Now, let the amount of time it takes Sandy be
x
hours so that Frank takes
2
x
hours. Sandy can build
1
x
of the fence every hour and Frank can build
1
2
x
of the fence every hour.
We now have the following equation to solve.

Thus, Sandy takes

hours and Frank takes
21
hours.
Answer:
x= -8 , y = 5
x= 25/4 , y = 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute first eqn into the second eqn:
(7 - 3y)^2 -y^2 = 39
49 - 42y + 9y^2 - y^2 = 39
8y^2 - 42y +10 =0
4y^2 - 21y + 5 = 0
(4y-1) (y-5) = 0
y= 1/4 , 5
when y=1/4
x = 7- 3/4
=25/4
when y= 5
x = 7- 15
= -8
ANSWER
C. The left end goes up; the right end goes down.
EXPLANATION
The given function is

We analyze the end behavior of this function using the leading term.
The leading term of this function is:

Since the degree(5) is odd and the leading coefficient (-2) is negative, the graph rises on the left and falls on the right.
In other words, the left end of the graph goes up and the right end goes down.
The correct option is C.
