The correct answer is: No it’s 30. But idk how to explain how I got the answer.
The playground is 68 meters long
Very simple
? – (20 – 4x – 5x2) = 20 – 7x2, so ? = 20 – 7x2 <span>+ (20 – 4x – 5x2)
</span>? = 20 – 7x2 <span>+ (20 – 4x – 5x2)=20-7x²+20-4x-5x²=40-12x²-4x
</span>the answer is <span>C. 40-4x-12x^2</span>
So, since both equate to y, we can solve for x by equating the equations to each other.
4x - 5 = -3
So: 4x = 2
So: x = 1/2, or 0.5
Now, y = -3, so the solution is (0.5, -3)
You can graph the two equations, and the point where they meet will be (0.5, -3).
