C+p=15
5c+7p=91
multiply 5 to 1st equation and subtract it from 2nd
multiply 5 to 1st equation to get
5c+5p=75
now subtract this from 2nd equation
thats 2p=16
so
p=8
now we find c from
c+p=15
c=7
Y=4 (x+ 17/8)^2 - 657/16 hope this helps you out mate =)
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation: hope it helps
the first quadrant only has positive numbers therefore everything is positive
'y' is NOT the number of chairs in each row and column. It's the TOTAL number of
chairs, so it's the product of (chairs in each row) times (chairs in each column).
The problem says that those numbers are equal. So we would expect the TOTAL
to be a perfect square, and the number in each row and each column to be the
square root of the total. Since the total is 81, the number in each row and column
could be either +9 or -9 . Both answers are mathematically correct, but -9
doesn't make sense in the real world. So we know that +9 is the real answer.
