8 0

Answer: None

Step-by-step explanation:

y=0 and y=-5 don't have any solutions. When you ask if a pair of equations have a solution, that means there is an intersection of the equations. The 2 equations will meet somewhere, and that is the solution. To find the solution, you set the equations equal to each other.

0≠-5

It is obvious that 0 and -5 are not equal to each other. Therefore, there is no solution. Also, y=0 and y=-5 are horizontal lines that are parallel to each other. They will never meet, which means there will be no intersection. No intersection means no solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Change in enrollment = - 60

Period of time at which change occurred = 3 years

Average change per year :

Total change in enrollment / period at which change occurred

= - 60 / 3

= - 20

Average change of - 20 enrollments per year

Which equation would graph as a straight line? x2 – y = 0 y = x 2y = x2 y=1/2×2-1 x2 = 0

Gwar [14]

Answer:

y=1/2×2-1

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 – y = 0 yields a parabola.

y = x is straight but has a slope to make it increase/decrease.

2y = x2 yields a parabola.

x2 = 0 yields a parabola.

The total cost CC (in dollars) to participate in a ski club is given by the literal equation C=85x+60C=85x+60, where xx is the n

Morgarella [4.7K]

First of all why is there 2 similar equation connected to one another?

Second in order to solve this all you need to do is plug in the number and solve for x

For 485

85x+60=485
85x=420
X=5

Do the same thing and you get 3
