Part a), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x - y = 2.25
2x = 7.25
x = 3.625
y = 1.375
part b), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x = 3y
y = 1.25
x = 3.75
Answer:
40 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of minutes it would take colleen to finish the job when he is working alone. Hence, it can be represented by the equation:

Solving the quadratic equation to get c gives:
c = -12 and c = 40
Since the time cannot be negative, hence c = 40 minutes.
It would take colleen 40 minutes to clear the yard of leaves alone
The two equations graphs intersect and the points where they are touching are belonging to both graphs therefore solutions for both equations.
(2) points (x,y) are
(-1,0) (-1)^2. +0^2=1; 1=1 ✔️
0=-1+1; 0=0✔️
(0, 1). (0)^2. +1^2=1; 1=1 ✔️
1=0+1; 1=1 ✔️
We need to solve for x. Let's try problem b:

Let us first combine line terms. 3x and -x as well as 1 and -7 can be combined. Let's do that:

Since this is true, your answer would be:
All real numbers
------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's solve for problem c:

Let's isolate x, so subtract 1 from both sides:

Since x can't have a coefficient, divide both sides by 3:


So, only the value of 14 would make this equation true.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's try problem d:

Let's get our whole numbers on the right side. Add 1 to both sides:

Subtract 4x from the right side on both sides:

Since this is not true, your answer would be:
No solution
