I am going to explain this using the substitution method, considering it appears to be the best in this situation.
We know (from the bottom equation) that y can equal 3x+20. Using this knowledge, we substitute the y in the top equation for 3x+20. Now, we have an equation that looks like this:
3x+20=x^2+2x
Now we need to move x to one side and then do some radicals (square roots).
Subtract the 2x on the right (since it is smaller, negatives = NONONO), which will give you
x+20=x^2
Now, we take the square root of both sides to get
rad(x+20)=x
Now we have to simplify. 20 doesn't have a square root, but 4 goes into 20, and 4 has a square root of 2. This now becomes
2rad(x+5)
This doesn't simplify any further... we have a problem... no way to isolate x as far as my knowledge goes... Sorry, can't help you any further than that, but another person or your teacher might be able to. R.I.P...
Answer:
White roses - 7
Red roses - 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up proportional equations
White roses = x
Red roses = 3x - 4
Set equal to 24
x + 3x - 4 = 24
4x - 4 = 24
4x = 28
x = 7
x is white roses, so there are 7
Plug x value into red rose equation
3(7)-4
21-4 = 17 red roses
Check
17+7 = 24
Answer:
$79.65
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3 727/1000
Step-by-step explanation:
First, the ones place is 3, so we already know that
Also, there is a 0.727.
There are 3 decimal spaces, so that means thousandths
So, its 3 727/1000
