<span>30x + 30y = 450 20x + 25y = 345
Here 345 represents the total area (in sq ft) shoveled; x repres. Melinda's rate and y represents Paul's rate. We need to solve for x and y and then subtract the smaller from the larger.
</span>30x + 30y = 450 Multiply this eqn by 2: 6<span>0x + 60y = 900
</span>20x + 25y = 345 Mult this eqn by -3: -60x -75y = -1035
---------------------------
-15y = -135
y = 9
This comes to 9 square feet per minute.
Now, let's find x: 30x + 30y = 450; 30x + 270 = 450; 30x = 180; x = 6
Melinda can shovel 6 sq ft in 1 min, whereas Paul can shovel 9.
The difference is (9 - 6) sq ft / min, or 3 sq ft / min (answer)
Answer:
s = 268.27
Step-by-step explanation:
simplify: 75+19547-11s=16671
simplify more: 19622-11s=16671
subtract 19622 on both sides: -11s=-2951
divide both sides by -11: s=268.27
Answer:
A. 
B. 

C. Both sides will continue to increase as they go because this is an even degree quadratic equation.
D. You use the two x-intercepts to make sure it is in the correct area and since we know the end behavior all you'd have to assume is that it continues to go up so any negative answers you may accidentally receive would be incorrect.
Since all reflections are inverse of itself, carrying any reflection about the same axis twice will carry the preimage back to itself.
